Nancy, hugging herself in the cloak, said, "I felt that I knew him very well."
"How long was he here?"
"Three days. I saw him twice."
"I don't think I quite like the—idea—" Anthony began, then broke off. "Of course you have a right to do as you please."
"Of course," said Nancy, with a flame in her cheek.
"But it would please me very much if you would send it back to him."
"If I wanted to," she told him, "I couldn't."
"Why not?"
"Can you mail parcel post packages to the—Flying Dutchman? Or express things to—to Odin?"
