In the street they had to sober down, to outward seeming; but there was still something about them, as they hurried off to find a teashop to discuss final details, that made people turn to look at them.

She missed Peg sorely, and yet she was glad of her absence. She could not easily forget the strange way in which her friend had behaved last night in the teashop how she had turned and walked away. After all, what did it matter? And yet ... she wished she could have taken Peg into her confidence.
