“You like Mr. Tay?”
“Rather. Never liked a man more. Deuced good chap all round.”
“You think that he and Julia should marry?”
“I do. But am not so sure they will. Julia’s a hard nut to crack.”
“Quite so. But I want her to be as happy as I am.”
“Right you are. Tay’s the man.”
“There’s something I promised Bridgit not to tell either Julia or Mr. Tay. But I didn’t promise not to tell you.”
Dark laughed. “I begin to see daylight. I suppose even Bridgit doesn’t encourage you to have secrets from your husband.”
“You are a dear! Well, it’s this. France is very low, has a bad case of heart and may go any minute.”
Dark whistled. “That would simplify matters.”
