“Good-bye,” she said, giving her hand. He detained it:
“I can’t bear to have you go alone——”
“I’m perfectly safe, mon ami. I’ve had a delightful time at your party—really I have. This affair of the letter does not spoil it. I’m accustomed to similar episodes. So now, good-night.”
“Am I to see you again soon?”
“Soon? Ah, I can’t tell you that, Garry.”
“When it is convenient then?”
“Yes.”
“And will you telephone me on your safe arrival home to-night?”
She laughed:
“If you wish. You’re so sweet to me, Garry. You always have been. Don’t worry about me. I am not in the least apprehensive. You see I’m rather a clever girl, and I know something about the Boche.”
