"She did, and so did Mick. Mick is a dear old fellow."
"And Pam, Sylvia?"
There was no consciousness in his voice.
"Pam, too, is a success. She has been a beauty for three seasons, strange to say."
"And it is a happy marriage?"
"Perfectly happy. They are ideally well suited."
"I am glad of that. How does Pam get on with her mother-in-law?"
"Fairly well, I believe. Lady Jane keeps herself to herself, which is lucky for Pam. I never took to that lady. But she is devoted to the heir. She wouldn't strike you, somehow, as a grandmotherly person, but it is so."
"There is an heir?"
"Yes; he is two years old, and he has a baby sister of seven months."
