"Ah! What were the other things?"
"We'll talk it over presently," replied Montague, as he glanced at Miss Spraggs.
"Am I so very young and innocent that I shouldn't learn what has happened?" asked Miss Spraggs, who, in her heart of hearts, enjoyed revelations of masculine profligacy.
"I'd rather speak later," urged Montague gloomily, to add, "It never rains but it pours."
"Why do you say that?" asked his wife quickly.
"I'd a letter from Charlie Perigal this mornin'."
"Where from?"
"The same Earl's Court private hotel. He wants somethin' to do."
"Something to do!" cried the two sisters together.
