The Social Secretary
November 29. At half-past one to-day—half-past one exactly—I began my career.
Mrs. Carteret said she would call for me at five minutes to one. But it was ten minutes after when she appeared, away down at the corner of I Street. Jim was walking up and down the drawing-room; I was at the window, watching that corner of I Street. There she blows! I cried, my voice brave, but my heart like a big lump of something soggy and sad.
