"He might get into England before your brother got out of it."
She smiled. "What do you suppose, then, Reggie'd do?"
I said I knew what I'd do if I were Reggie.
She smiled again. "I see. You're saving him from Reggie."
"I'm not thinking of him, I can assure you."
At that she said, "Dear Wally, so you think you're saving me."
"I'm trying to," I said. "As far as your people are concerned. You don't want them to know you've been here. If you'll only leave it to me, they won't know."
"I'm not going to lie about it. I shall tell them if they ask me."
"Not Reggie," I said.
"Yes, Reggie. If he asks me. Reggie's the very last person I should think of lying to."
