Robin pressed closer to Juliet. She could feel him trembling.
Instinctively she laid her hand upon him as Green drew near.
"Have you come to see me or to look for Robin?" she said.
Green's look was enigmatical. It comprehended them both at a single glance. She wondered if he were really angry, but if so, he had himself under complete control.
"I have brought you a box of cigarettes to go on with, Miss Moore," he said, and produced his offering with a smile.
"How very kind of you!" said Juliet. She sat up with a quick flush of embarrassment. "How did you manage to get them so soon? You must have had them by you."
"I had," said Green. "But I can spare you these with pleasure. It's awful to be without a smoke, isn't it?"
Juliet smiled. "These will last me for ages. I am being very economical now. Please will you tell me how much they are?"
"Half-a-crown," he said.
"Oh, please!" she protested. "Let us be honest!"
"Exactly," he said. "It's all they cost me. I get them through a friend."
