"Collingwood and Peggy——"
"And what train did you and Lady Attwill get on?"
"The wrong one. Stupid mistake, wasn't it?"
"Very," Admaston answered.
Lord Ellerdine brightened a little. He thought he was carrying things very well now. "Yes," he said, "and so we all stayed the night at this hotel."
"Indeed!" Admaston replied.
