"Miss Ranger let it out to Louis this morning."
"Let it out? Why on earth should she keep it in?"
"Oh well, I don't suppose she sees anything in it."
"No more do I," said Brodrick.
"You never saw anything," said Sophy. "I don't say there's anything to see—all the same——"
She paused.
"Well?" He was all attention and politeness.
"All the same I should insist on her coming back."
He was silent, as though he were considering it.
"Or better still, go down and fetch her."
