"I've been in a bad way lately and I've prayed for help. Surely meeting with you in a huge place like London is an answer to my prayer."
"Meeting you, when you were hard up, was like something out of a book, eh?"
"Something out of a very good book," replied Mavis.
"Well, it wasn't chance at all. These sort of things never happen when they're wanted to. I've been up in town looking for you."
"What!"
"And thereby hangs a very romantic tale."
"You've been looking for me?"
"What's the time?"
"You're not thinking of going yet? Why were you looking for me?"
"It's nearly ten," declared Miss Toombs, as she looked at her watch. "Unless I stay the night here, I must be off."
