"Then I must really be moving, Mildred. But Jack will play; he isn't coming on with me."
"Where are you going, Lady Alston?" asked Arthur.
"To see Blanche Devereux."
Arthur Naseby's face fell.
"I never knew she was giving a party," he said.
Marie laughed, rising.
"She isn't; don't be frightened; it is still possible that she has not dropped you, like Mildred. I'm only going to see her about the soldiers' bazaar. In fact, it is because she isn't giving a party that I am going."
Jim Spencer got up too.
"Will you give me a lift?" he asked. "I am going to Eaton Place also."
