“Just a moment,” said Peter.
And Sue waited, by the door.
Peter took up the receiver. She heard him stammer—
“Oh—oh, all right—eleven o'clock—all right.”
“There,” said she, laughing a little. “It has happened, you see! I'm being put out.”
“I'm awfully sorry, Sue.”
“Oh, that doesn't matter! It's just amusing.”
“But I wouldn't have had it happen——”
His voice trailed off.
“Good night,” said she again.
