“I have been wondering whether you won’t come in one day and see my little home. Everyone wants you, I know, but if you have a minute some Wednesday—”
“I’ll be delighted.”
“Next Wednesday, then?”
“Thanks. Next Wednesday.”
“Cadogan Square—the red book will tell you. But I’ll send cards. I must be running away now.”
When she had gone, followed by Robin, Mrs. Wolfstein said to Miss Schley:
“She’s been conquered by fear of Philadelphia.”
“Wait till I give her Noo York,” returned the American, placidly.
