“How did you find my address?” she asked, leading me into a small living-room. “This is a surprise.”
“Yeah, isn’t it?” I said, dropping my hat on a chair. “You look knocked for a loop.”
She giggled.
“I happened to look out of the window and saw you coming. So I’ve had time to recover. How did you know I lived here?”
“Phoned the Nurses’ Association. Were you going to bed?”
“Uh-huh, but don’t let that drive you away.”
“You get into bed and I’ll sit beside you and hold your hand.”
She shook her head.
“That sounds dull. Let’s have a drink. Was there anything special or is this just a social call?”
I lowered myself into an armchair.
