My friend will never go without her afternoon tea;" she turned to Madame Wachner.
"I, too, love afternoon tea!" cried Madame Wachner, in a merry tone.
"Then that is settled! You and I will take a drive, and then we will 'ave tea and then go to the Casino." Mrs.Bailey accompanied her friend upstairs while Anna put on her things and got out her money.
"You will enjoy a drive on this hot day, even with that funny old woman," said Madame Wolsky, affectionately.

"And meanwhile I will get your membership card made out for the Club.

If you like to do so, you might have a little gamble this evening.

But I do not want my sweet English friend to become as fond of play as I am myself"-- there crept a sad note into her voice.

"However, I do not think there is any fear of that!" When the two friends came downstairs again, they found Monsieur and Madame Wachner standing close together and speaking in a low voice.
