“When are they coming back?” was his next remark.
“I think on Sunday evening.”
“Well, this is Thursday. We have got to-day and to-morrow and Saturday and Sunday. We have got four whole days. Let us have some fun. How much of your five shillings have you left. Dumps?”
“I don’t care,” I said.
“That’s nonsense.—Alex, push her into that chair.—Now, how much money have you got?”
“I’ve got it all,” I said.
“All of it?”
“Yes, every farthing. I had a few pence over which paid for the Twopenny Tube yesterday; I have not broken into the five shillings at all.”
“We spent one and sixpence each last night, so you owe each of us a bit, because you enjoyed the supper just as much as we did.”
“Oh yes.”
