"There's the champagne, too." The meal came to a conclusion with scarcely another serious word.

Susan departed in due course, and Tallente called for his bill, a short time afterwards, with a feeling of absolute reluctance.
"Shall we try and get in at a show somewhere ?" he suggested.
She shook her head.
"Not to-night.

Four nights a week I go to bed early and this is one of them.

Let's escape, if we can, before Mr.Miller can make his way over here.

I know he'll try and have coffee with us or something." Tallente was adroit and they left the restaurant just as Miller was rising to his feet.
