"What did you tell her?"
"Nothing, Miss."
"You were very sensible, Susan," I said. "You oughtn't to talk about it to any one."
I picked up a book; but Susan still loitered.
"Well?" I asked at length. "What is it?"
"Please, Miss," began Susan uncomfortably, "I didn't tell Georgette anything."
"So you said before."
"Yes, Miss. But Georgette ... wanted to look at the envelope. I mean the letter to his lordship, Miss."
"But you didn't let her do it?"
"Oh, no, Miss."
