We go down to Mallow Court at the end of this week.

I can't stand town in July.

What date are you coming to us ?" Peter was silent a moment, his eyes bent on the ground.

Then he raised his head suddenly as though he had just come to a decision.
"I'm afraid I shan't be able to come down," he said quietly.
"But you promised us!" objected Kitty.

"Peter, you can't go back on a promise!" He regarded her gravely.
