The girl smiled at his frank seriousness.
"Lord's, on Monday," she said. "Come and see me in the luncheon hour, or before, if Cambridge is batting."
"I say," said Pip gruffly, "aren't you rather taking things for granted?"
"You mean your coming to see me?"
"Gracious, no!" cried Pip in genuine distress. "I meant about my playing."
