'Father told me I was always to go to you when I was in trouble, and you've been awfully good to me since he ... 'Better stay to dinner. The Infant mopped his forehead. 'Thank you very much, but the fact is Trivett halted.
"It seems to me," I said, "that you would both be well advised to leave the decision to Miss Trivett. You could have no better referee." "I'm game," said Arthur Jukes. "Suits me," said Ralph Bingham. "Why, whatever are you all doing here with your golf-clubs?" asked the girl, wonderingly.
Her hesitations were interrupted by Mrs Budd bringing in a letter for Mavis that the postman had just left. It was from Mrs Trivett.
