She
decided
to
go
as
far
as
the
Marylebone
Road
,
and
then
turn
back
.
It
would
be
too
humiliating
to
go
home
without
being
once
accosted
.
She
was
walking
so
slowly
that
passers
-
by
sometimes
jostled
her
.
This
irritated
her
.
"
I
ought
to
have
tried
Oxford
Street
,
"
she
said
.
"
That
fool
Evie
.
The
Edgware
Road
s
obviously
a
wash
-
out
.
"
Suddenly
her
heart
gave
an
exultant
leap
.
She
had
caught
a
young
man
s
eye
and
she
was
sure
that
there
was
a
gleam
in
it
.
He
passed
,
and
she
had
all
she
could
do
not
to
turn
round
.
She
started
,
for
in
a
moment
he
passed
her
again
,
he
had
retraced
his
steps
,
and
this
time
he
gave
her
a
stare
.

She
shot
him
a
glance
and
then
modestly
lowered
her
eyes
.
He
fell
back
and
she
was
conscious
that
he
was
following
her
.
It
was
all
right
.
She
stopped
to
look
into
a
shop
window
and
he
stopped
too
.
She
knew
how
to
behave
now
.
She
pretended
to
be
absorbed
in
the
goods
that
were
displayed
,
but
just
before
she
moved
on
gave
him
a
quick
flash
of
her
faintly
smiling
eyes
.
He
was
rather
short
,
he
looked
like
a
clerk
or
a
shop
-
walker
,
he
wore
a
grey
suit
and
a
brown
soft
hat
.
He
was
not
the
man
she
would
have
chosen
to
be
picked
up
by
,
but
there
it
was
,
he
was
evidently
trying
to
pick
her
up
.
She
forgot
that
she
was
beginning
to
feel
tired
.
She
did
not
know
what
would
happen
next
.
Of
course
she
wasn
t
going
to
let
the
thing
go
too
far
,
but
she
was
curious
to
see
what
his
next
step
would
be
.
She
wondered
what
he
would
say
to
her
.
She
was
excited
and
pleased
;
it
was
a
weight
off
her
mind
.
She
walked
on
slowly
and
she
knew
he
was
close
behind
her
.
She
stopped
at
another
shop
window
,
and
this
time
when
he
stopped
he
was
close
beside
her
.
Her
heart
began
to
beat
wildly
.
It
was
really
beginning
to
look
like
an
adventure
.
"
I
wonder
if
he
ll
ask
me
to
go
to
a
hotel
with
him
.
I
don
t
suppose
he
could
afford
that
.
A
cinema
.
That
s
it
.
It
would
be
rather
fun
.
"
She
looked
him
full
in
the
face
now
and
very
nearly
smiled
.
He
took
off
his
hat
.
"
Miss
Lambert
,
isn
t
it
?
"

She
almost
jumped
out
of
her
skin
.
She
was
indeed
so
taken
aback
that
she
had
not
the
presence
of
mind
to
deny
it
.
"
I
thought
I
recognized
you
the
moment
I
saw
you
,
that
s
why
I
turned
back
,
to
make
sure
,
see
,
and
I
said
to
meself
,
if
that
s
not
Julia
Lambert
I
m
Ramsay
Macdonald
.
Then
you
stopped
to
look
in
that
shop
window
and
that
give
me
the
chance
to
ave
a
good
look
at
you
.
What
made
me
esitate
was
seeing
you
in
the
Edgware
Road
.
It
seems
so
funny
,
if
you
know
what
I
mean
.
"
It
was
much
funnier
than
he
imagined
.
Anyhow
it
didn
t
matter
if
he
knew
who
she
was
.
She
ought
to
have
guessed
that
she
couldn
t
go
far
in
London
without
being
recognized
.
He
had
a
cockney
accent
and
a
pasty
face
,
but
she
gave
him
a
jolly
,
friendly
smile
.
He
mustn
t
think
she
was
putting
on
airs
.
