She had been sitting next Morris, and the boy looked at her eagerly.
"It's too bad, your having to go," he said.

"But do you think I may come over to-morrow, in the afternoon some time, and see you and Lady Templeton ?" Madge paused a moment.
"I am so sorry," she said, "but we shall be away all day.

We shan't be back till quite late." "Oh, what a bore," said he, "and I leave again on Friday.

Do let me come and see you off then." But Mrs.Assheton interposed.
"No, dear," she said, "I am going to have five minutes' talk with Madge before she goes and we don't want you.

Look after Mr.Taynton.I know he wants to talk to you and I want to talk to Madge." Mr.Taynton, when the door had closed behind the ladies, sat down again with a rather obvious air of proposing to enjoy himself.
