Katherine received the news very quietly.
“And now,” said Millie eagerly, “what will you do, Katie darling?”
“Wait and see what Mother does,” said Katie.
“She’ll be simply horrified,” said Millie. “If she sends Philip away and forbids you ever to see him again, what will you do?”
But Katherine would not answer that.
“Let’s wait, Millie dear,” she said gently.
“But you wouldn’t let him go?” Millie pursued, “not back to Russia and that awful woman.”
“I trust Philip,” Katherine said.
“You can never trust a man,” Millie said gravely. “I know. One of our girls in Paris was let in terribly. She—”
Katherine interrupted her.
