“Me so sorry,” said Lucia. “But me was so fussed and busy in town. Delicious to be in Riseholme again.”
“Delicious,” said Georgie.
Lucia paused a moment.
“Is Georgino cross with me?” she asked.
“Not a bit,” said Georgie brightly. “Why?”
“I didn’t know. And I hear my Olga and a friend are lunching with you. I am hoping they will come and dine with me to-night. And do come in afterward. We shall be eight already, or of course I should ask you.”
“Thanks so much, but I’m dining with her,” said Georgie.
A pause.
“Well, all of you come and dine here,” said Lucia. “Such amusing people, and I’ll squeeze you in.”
“I’m afraid I can’t accept for Olga,” said Georgie. “And I’m dining with her, you see.”
