"Just a minute, Viv," he called out. "What does Miss Castleton say about coming?" It was an eager question. Much depended on the reply.
"I haven't asked her," said his sister succinctly. "How could I, without first consulting Sara?"
"Then, you don't intend to ask her?"
"Certainly not."
"Oh, I'll fix it up with Sara," said he confidently.
"Eh, Sara?"
"I'd suggest that you 'fix it up' with Miss Castleton," said Sara pointedly.
Vivian shot a swift glance over her shoulder at her sister-in-law, and then broke into a good-humoured laugh. She joined Hetty and Mrs. Redmond Wrandall.
"Sometimes I feel that I really like Vivian," observed Sara, as much to herself as to Leslie. "She's above the board, at least."
"Disagreeable as the devil at times, though," said he, biting his lip.
