“Yesterday.”
“And before that?”
“I was away for a few days.”
“But you saw her the night before you went away?”
“Yes.”
“And if I hadn’t interfered you’d have seen her to-night.”
“No—we had no engagement for to-night.”
She laughed. “You’re not especially subtle. Are you really in love with this girl?... Do tell me all about her. I know I’m prying and curious—but—Oh, I’m just curious about her.”
“I—there’s nothing to tell.”
“There must be. How is she different from us American girls? She seemed very attractive—and sweet.”
