'I don't see that your chaperon's in such a rush.'

'I know. They've been hours. They might have walked around to the rooms.'

'Mildred would if she wanted to. It has seemed to me lately...'

'What?'

'I don't know—but once or twice—as if she might be getting a little too fond of Humphrey.'

'Oh'—there was concern in Henry's voice—'do you think so?'

'I wonder if you know just how fascinating that man is, Henry.'
