"Unless...?"
"Well, Miss, I did say to Gibson that ... that there was somebody. But I didn't mention names, Miss, and he could never guess."
"Have you said anything to Georgette?"
Susan hung her head and studied the toe of her shoe a long time before she confessed:
"Georgette asked me, Miss."
"Asked you what?"
"Georgette said: 'Have you got an Ammee?' And when I told her I didn't know what an Ammee was, she said..."
Susan blushed and stopped.
"Go on," I said. "An ami. What did Georgette say an ami was?"
"It is French for Mister," faltered Susan. "Georgette says it is a Mister with whom one is in love."
