"And what about Tom Courtland?" she went on. "Is he with the children?"
"No, he's living at the club."
"Hum! At the club officially?"
"You're malicious—and you outrage proper feeling. At the club really, Christine. He feels a bit lost, I fancy. I think it rather depends on somebody else now. He's a weak chap, poor old Tom."
"You're full of discoveries about people to-day. Any other news?"
"No, none."
"But, you see, I've heard from Janet Selford!"
"Will you consider my remarks about your remarks as repeated—with more emphasis?"
"Oh, yes, I will! You're talking more as you used to before you were married."
"That's a compliment? I expect so—coming from a woman. Christine, have you read Sibylla Janet Selford's letter?"
