In
twenty
years
Dolly
had
never
been
engaged
when
Julia
wanted
her
to
do
something
with
her
.
The
voice
at
the
other
end
of
the
telephone
was
hostile
.
"
Dolly
,
how
can
you
be
so
unkind
?
Roger
’
ll
be
terribly
disappointed
.
His
first
day
at
home
;
besides
,
I
want
to
see
you
.
I
haven
’
t
seen
you
for
ages
and
I
miss
you
terribly
.
Can
’
t
you
break
your
engagement
,
just
for
this
once
,
darling
,
and
we
’
ll
have
a
good
old
gossip
after
lunch
,
just
you
and
me
?
"
No
one
could
be
more
persuasive
than
Julia
when
she
liked
,
no
one
could
put
more
tenderness
into
her
voice
,
nor
a
more
irresistible
appeal
.
There
was
a
moment
’
s
pause
and
Julia
knew
that
Dolly
was
struggling
with
her
wounded
feelings
.
"
All
right
,
darling
,
I
’
ll
manage
.
"
"
Darling
.
"
But
when
she
rang
off
Julia
through
clenched
teeth
muttered
:
"
The
old
cow
.
"
Dolly
came
.
Roger
listened
politely
while
she
told
him
that
he
had
grown
and
with
his
grave
smile
answered
her
suitably
when
she
said
the
sort
of
things
she
thought
proper
to
a
boy
of
his
age
.
Julia
was
puzzled
by
him
.
Without
talking
much
he
listened
,
apparently
with
attention
,
to
what
the
rest
of
them
were
saying
,
but
she
had
an
odd
feeling
that
he
was
occupied
with
thoughts
of
his
own
.
He
seemed
to
observe
them
with
a
detached
curiosity
like
that
with
which
he
might
have
observed
animals
in
a
zoo
.
It
was
faintly
disquieting
.
When
the
opportunity
presented
itself
she
delivered
the
little
bit
of
dialogue
she
had
prepared
for
Dolly
’
s
benefit
.
"
Oh
,
Roger
darling
,
you
know
your
wretched
father
’
s
busy
tonight
.
I
’
ve
got
a
couple
of
seats
for
the
second
house
at
the
Palladium
and
Tom
wants
you
to
dine
with
him
at
the
Cafe
Royal
.
"
"
Oh
!
"
He
paused
for
a
second
.
"
All
right
.
"
She
turned
to
Dolly
.
