"Yes, please; if it be possible."
She reflected a moment. "It must be this morning. There is no relying on the afternoon light. I cannot arrange to go myself, but my sister can, I think. Lucy!"
Lucy came across to them, alert and serene.
"Lucy, would you take number three camera to Mr. Jermyn's studio in York Place?"
"Yes, certainly."
"I have some studies of drapery I should wish to be photographed," added Frank, with his air of steadfast modesty.
"I will come at once, if you like," answered Lucy, calmly.
"You will, of course, allow me to carry the apparatus, Miss Lorimer."
"Thank you," said Lucy, after the least possible hesitation.
