‘Kiddy Childe,’ I said, as I put it down, ‘surely that’s Squiff’s girl?’
‘Right O, right O,’ said Freddy, ‘he’s booked her for the whole week,
and even now they’re cuddling in a private room at the Hyde.’
‘But,’ burst out the Pilot who was bubbling with suppressed excitement,
‘I wrote to her and she answered that, owing to a sad bereavement, she
is not accepting any invitations. Now you say Squiff’s going to have
her all the week; I believe the only thing she’s been bereft of--’ but
here a burst of laughter prevented any further explanation; for the
Pilot, as Freddy coarsely puts it, is going to be a devil-dodger; and
even his explanation that a clergyman must see all sides of life would
hardly cover an occasion like this.
‘I’ve invited Ina and the “Three Little Wives” to tea to-morrow,’
Freddy continued when the laughter had subsided, ‘you see that makes a
girl for each of us.’
