"Eight o'clock dinner."
"But he was not dining at the Danish Legation?"
"No. He came and fetched us again soon after eleven."
"That's right, but between whiles?"
"Between whiles?"
"Yes. Between eight and soon after eleven?"
"Well—I suppose—I don't know—yes, of course, I do! What a stupid ass I am. Luke told me himself that he was going to see his uncle at the Something Club in Shaftesbury Avenue."
"The Veterans'?"
"Yes, that's it—the Veterans'. Luke wanted to persuade old Radclyffe to go abroad for the benefit of his health—Algeciras—that was it."
