“No.”
“For how long?”
“We have not been there.”
“You mean you arrived in London to-day.” She didn’t answer. “Is that what you mean? Where did you come from?”
“From Deepacres.”
“From Deepacres? That’s in Kent, isn’t it? Did you come straight to this flat?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Had his lordship ever done that before, do you know?”
“I don’t recollect.”
