"No," said Sylvia, "that's the difficulty."
"So I anticipated. You're not economical."
Sylvia laughed.
"I won't remind you of your failings. You have one virtue—you can be liberal when it suits you; and you're my trustee."
Lansing's rather fleshy, smooth-shaven face grew thoughtful, but Sylvia continued:
"I'm going to Susan's, and I really need a lot of new clothes."
"For a week or two's visit?"
"I may, perhaps, go on somewhere else afterward."
"I wonder whether you thought it necessary to tell Muriel so?"
Sylvia sighed.
