“Oh, of course,” said May, “but I want to go to Applethorpe soon. We didn’t go last Saturday or the Saturday before.”
Tom gave no answer for a moment.
“I’ll do exactly as you like,” he said; “we’ll go on Saturday if you wish.”
“Let’s go,” said May. “Mr. Manvers can come with us or go to the Chathams’. I know they want him to stay there a day or two.”
“Why not get Maud Wrexham as well, then?” said Tom. “If they would both come it would be delightful.”
May paused a moment. This was not exactly what she meant by a Sunday at Applethorpe.
“I expect they have people with them,” she said.
Tom was a little perplexed, but assumed that for some reason May did not want Maud Wrexham to come.
“Well, there’s no need to ask her unless you like,” he said, rising.
“I never said I didn’t want her.”
