She felt she saw, through his eyes, a precious rightness in the women with theirgreyskirts and well-filled blouses who trod beside their husbands and their clean children.

"Are they all Austrians?" Trudy asked.

"Not much of a sense ofhumour, have they?"

"They are of mixed nationalities, so they have to limit theirhumourto jokes which everyone can understand, and so they talk about racing cars which aren't there."

Trudy giggled a little, to show willing. Richard told her he was thirty-five, which she thought feasible. She volunteered that she was not quite twenty-two.

She squealed at Gwen when they met in their room later on. "I'm having a heavenly time with Richard. I do so much like an older man."

Gwen sat on her bed and gave Trudy a look of wonder. Then she said. "He's not much older than you."

breathlessness ['breTlIsnIs]

Trudy wanted to move her lodgings in London but she was prevented from doing so by a desire to be near Gwen, who saw Richard daily at school, and who knew his mother so well. And therefore Gwen's experience of Richard filled in the gaps in his life which were unknown to Trudy and which intrigued her.

She would fling herself into Gwen's room. "Gwen, what d'you think? There he was waiting outside the office and he drove me home, and he's calling for me at seven, and next week-endпїЅ"

Gwen frequently replied, "You are out of breath. Have you got heart trouble?"пїЅпїЅ for Gwen's room was only on the first floor. And Trudy was furious with Gwen on these occasions for seeming not to understand that the breathlessness was all part of her only being twenty-two, and excited by the boyfriend.

"I think Richard's so exciting (пїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ, пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ)," Trudy said (пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ).

"Are they well off? Is she a well-bred woman? What's the house like? How long have you known Richard? Why hasn't he married before? The mother, is she пїЅ"

"Lucy is a marvel in her way," Gwen said.

"Oh, do you call her Lucy? You must know her awfully well."

"I'm quite,'' said Gwen, "a member of the family in my way."

"Richard has often told me that. Do you go there every Sunday?"

"Most Sundays," Gwen said. "It is often very amusing, and one sometimes sees a fresh face."

Richard picked her up in his Singer at four on Sunday. He seemed preoccupied. He did not, as usual, open the car door for her, but slid into the driver's seat and waited for her to get in beside him. She fancied he was perhaps nervous about her meeting his mother for the first time.

The house on Campion Hill was delightful. They must be very comfortable. Trudy thought. Mrs. Seeton was a tall, stooping woman, well dressed and preserved, with thick steel-greyhair and large light eyes. "I hope you'll call me Lucy," she said. "Do you smoke?"

"Helps the nerves," said Mrs. Seeton, "when one is getting on in life. You don't need to smoke yet awhile."

"No," Trudy said. "What a lovely room, Mrs. Seeton."

"Lucy," said Mrs. Seeton. "Lucy," Trudy said, very shyly, and looked at Richard for support. But he was drinking the last of his tea and looking out of the window as if to see whether the sky had cleared.

"Richard has to go out for supper," Mrs. Seeton said, waving her cigarette holder very prettily. "Don't forget to watch the time, Richard. But Trudy will stay to supper with me. I hope, Trudy and I have a lot to talk about, I'm sure." She looked at Trudy and very faintly, with no more than a butterfly-flick, winked.

Trudy accepted the invitation with a conspiratorial nod and a slight squirm in her chair. She looked at Richard to see if he would say where he was going for supper, but he was gazing up at the top pane of the window, his fingers tapping on the arm of the shining Old Windsor chair on which he sat.

Richard left at half past six, very much more cheerful in his going than he had been in his coming.

"Richard gets restless on a Sunday," said his mother.

"Yes, so I've noticed," Trudy said, so that there should be no mistake about who had been occupying his recent Sundays.

"I daresay now you want to hear all about Richard," said his mother in a secretive whisper, although no one was in earshot. Mrs. Seeton giggled through her nose and raised her shoulders all the way up her long neck till they almost touched her earrings.

Trudy vaguely copied her gesture (пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ; vaguely пїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ, пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ; to copy пїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ, пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ).

Trudy vaguely copied her gesture. "Oh, yes," she said, "Mrs. Seeton."

"Lucy. You must call me Lucy, now, you know. I want you and me to be friends. I want you to feel like a member of the family. Would you like to see the house?"

She led the way upstairs and displayed her affluent bedroom, one wall of which was entirely covered by mirror, so that, for every photograph on her dressing table of Richard and Richard's late father, there were virtually two photographs in the room.

"This is Richard on his pony, Lob. He adored Lob. We all adored Lob. Of course, we were in the country then. This is Richard with Nana. And this is Richard's father at the outbreak of war. What did you do in the war, dear?"

"I was at school," Trudy said, quite truthfully.

"Oh, then you're a teacher, too?"

"No, I'm a secretary, I didn't leave school till after the war."

Mrs. Seeton said, looking at Trudy from two angles, "Good gracious me, how deceiving. I thought you were about Richard's age, like Gwen. Gwen is such a dear. This is Richard as a graduate.

"Gwen is a good bit older than me," Trudy said, being still upset on the subject of age.

"She ought to be here any moment. She usually comes for supper. Now I'll show you the other rooms and Richard's room."

When they came to Richard's room his mother stood on the threshold and, with her finger to her lips for no apparent reason, swung the door open. Compared with the rest of the house this was a bleak, untidy, almost schoolboy's room. Richard's greenpyjamatrousers lay on the floor where he had stepped out of them. This was a sight familiar to Trudy from her several week-end excursions with Richard, of late months, to hotels up the Thames valley.

"So untidy (пїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ)," said Richard's mother (пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ), shaking her head woefully (пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ; to shake пїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ, пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ, пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ; woefully пїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ, пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ, пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ).

"So untidy," said Richard's mother, shaking her head woefully. "So untidy. One day, Trudy, dear, we must have a real chat."

Gwen arrived presently, and made herself plainly at home by going straight into the kitchen to prepare a salad. Mrs. Seeton carved slices of cold meat while Trudy stood and watched them both, listening to a conversation between them which indicated a long intimacy.

"Expecting Grace tonight?" Gwen said.

"Would you," Gwen said to Trudy, "lay the table, my dear? Here are the knives and forks."

Trudy bore these knives and forks into the dining-room with a sense of having been got rid of with a view to being talked about.

At supper, Mrs. Seeton said, "It seems a bit odd, there only being the three of us. We usually have such jolly Sunday suppers. Next week, Trudy, you must come and meet the whole crowd пїЅ mustn't she, Gwen?"

"Oh, yes," Gwen said, "Trudy must do that."

Towards half past ten Richard's mother said, "I doubt if Richard will be back in time to run you home. Naughty boy, I daren't think what he gets up to."

On the way to the bus stop Gwen said, "Are you happy now that you've met Lucy?"

"Yes, I think so. But I think Richard might have stayed. It would have been nice. I daresay he wanted me to get to know his mother by myself. But in fact I felt the need of his support. "

''Didn't you have a talk with Lucy?"

"Well yes, but not much really. Richard probably didn't realize you were coming to supper. Richard probably thought his mother and I could have a heart-to-heart пїЅ

"Well, she's a friend of mine (пїЅпїЅ, пїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ).

"I usually go to Lucy's on Sunday," Gwen said.

"Why?"

"Well, she's a friend of mine. I know her ways. She amuses me."

During the week Trudy saw Richard only once, for a quick drink.

"Exams," he said. "I'm rather busy, darling."

''Exams in November? I thought they started in December."

"Preparation for exams," he said. "Preliminaries. Lots of work." He took her home, kissed her on the cheek and drove off.

She looked after the car, and for a moment hated his moustache. But she pulled herself together and, recalling her youthfulness, decided she was too young really to judge the fine shades and moods of a man like Richard.

He picked her up at four o'clock on Sunday.

"Mother's looking forward to seeing you," he said. "She hopes you will stay for supper."

'"You won't have to go out, will you, Richard?"

"Not tonight, no."

But he did have to go out to keep an appointment of which his mother reminded him immediately after tea. He had smiled at his mother and said, "Thanks."

Trudy saw the photograph album, then she heard how Mrs. Seeton had met Richard's father in Switzerland, and what Mrs. Seeton had been wearing at the time.

At half past six the supper party arrived. These were three women, including Gwen. The one called Grace was quite pretty, with a bewildered air. The one called Iris was well over forty and rather loud in her manner.

"Where's Richard tonight, the old cad?" said Iris.

"How do I know?" said his mother "Who am I to ask?"

"Well, at least he's a hard worker during the week. A brilliant teacher," said doe-eyed Grace.

"Middling as a schoolmaster," Gwen said.

"Oh, Gwen! Look how long he's held down the job," his mother said.

"I should think," Grace said, "he's wonderful with the boys."

"Those Shakespearean productions at the end of the summer term are really magnificent," Iris bawled. "IпїЅll hand him that, the old devil."

"Magnificent," said his mother. "You must admit. Gwen пїЅ"

"Very middling performances," Gwen said.

"I suppose you are right, but, after all, they are only schoolboys. You can't do much with untrained actors, Gwen," said Mrs. Seeton very sadly.

"I adore Richard (пїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ)," Iris said, "when he's in his busy, occupied mood (/пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ/ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅ пїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ, пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ пїЅпїЅпїЅпїЅ).
