When the train had moved out of the station Billy stared at Nan puzzled. “Really does look as if she’d grown fond of him! Eh what?”
Nan squeezed his arm. “Perhaps she always was fond of him and we were sceptics.”
“She may be now. She wasn’t.”
“Is it because he’s got money?”
“Does make a difference, doesn’t it?”
Nan pressed against him and looked up laughing. “Between you and me it wouldn’t.”
“Think not?”
“Never.”
Hidden in a cab, he caught her to him. “You darling!” She held him from her, blushing. “But why now? What’s this for?”
“Jehane makes me thankful for what I’ve got.”
