"I saw one of your books the other day in a shop-window in London," he said. "It had been translated. It was so jolly to see it there, like a message from home."
Camilla walked in the middle and looked up at each of them in turn. At last she said:
"Then you'll come on Tuesday, Johannes. Oh, excuse me for thinking only of my own affairs," she added with a laugh. But the next moment she repented and turned to Richmond, asking him to come too. He would only meet people he knew, Victoria and her mother were asked, besides them only about a dozen were coming.
Suddenly Johannes stopped and said:
"After all I may just as well go back."
"See you on Tuesday," Camilla answered.
Richmond took his hand and pressed it sincerely.
So the two young people went on their way, alone and happy.
