Is
that
a
sufficient
reason
to
ask
him
to
lunch
?
"
Michael
did
not
notice
the
faint
irony
of
her
tone
.
"
I
won
’
t
ask
him
if
you
don
’
t
want
him
.
I
merely
thought
it
would
be
a
treat
for
him
.
He
admires
you
tremendously
.
He
’
s
been
to
see
the
play
three
times
.
He
’
s
crazy
to
be
introduced
to
you
.
"
Michael
touched
a
button
and
in
a
moment
his
secretary
came
in
.
"
Here
are
the
letters
,
Margery
.
What
appointments
have
I
got
for
this
afternoon
?
"
Julia
with
half
an
ear
listened
to
the
list
Margery
read
out
and
,
though
she
knew
the
room
so
well
,
idly
looked
about
her
.
It
was
a
very
proper
room
for
the
manager
of
a
first
-
class
theatre
.
The
walls
had
been
panelled
(
at
cost
price
)
by
a
good
decorator
and
on
them
hung
engravings
of
theatrical
pictures
by
Zoffany
and
de
Wilde
.
The
armchairs
were
large
and
comfortable
.
Michael
sat
in
a
heavily
carved
Chippendale
*
chair
,
a
reproduction
but
made
by
a
well
-
known
firm
,
and
his
Chippendale
table
,
with
heavy
ball
and
claw
feet
,
was
immensely
solid
.
On
it
stood
in
a
massive
silver
frame
a
photograph
of
herself
and
to
balance
it
a
photograph
of
Roger
,
their
son
.
Between
these
was
a
magnificent
silver
ink
-
stand
that
she
had
herself
given
him
on
one
of
his
birthdays
and
behind
it
a
rack
in
red
morocco
,
heavily
gilt
,
in
which
he
kept
his
private
paper
in
case
he
wanted
to
write
a
letter
in
his
own
hand
.
The
paper
bore
the
address
,
Siddons
Theatre
,
and
the
envelope
his
crest
,
a
boar
’
s
head
with
the
motto
underneath
:
Nemo
me
impune
lacessit
.
*
A
bunch
of
yellow
tulips
in
a
silver
bowl
,
which
he
had
got
through
winning
the
theatrical
golf
tournament
three
times
running
,
showed
Margery
’
s
care
.
Julia
gave
her
a
reflective
glance
.
Notwithstanding
her
cropped
peroxide
hair
and
her
heavily
-
painted
lips
she
had
the
neutral
look
that
marks
the
perfect
secretary
.
She
had
been
with
Michael
for
five
years
.
In
that
time
she
must
have
got
to
know
him
inside
and
out
.
Julia
wondered
if
she
could
be
such
a
fool
as
to
be
in
love
with
him
.
But
Michael
rose
from
his
chair
.
"
Now
,
darling
,
I
’
m
ready
for
you
.
"
Margery
gave
him
his
black
Homburg
*
hat
and
opened
the
door
for
Julia
and
Michael
to
go
out
.
As
they
entered
the
office
the
young
man
Julia
had
noticed
turned
round
and
stood
up
.
"
I
should
like
to
introduce
you
to
Miss
Lambert
,
"
said
Michael
.
Then
with
the
air
of
an
ambassador
presenting
an
attache
to
the
sovereign
of
the
court
to
which
he
is
accredited
:
"
This
is
the
gentleman
who
is
good
enough
to
put
some
order
into
the
mess
we
make
of
our
accounts
.
"
