Chapter 16 TEA WITH NELLIE ROBABLY Clifford Asher would not write in spite of what he bhad said. Georgie sighed, as she turned the corner and walked into Nelly Fos- ter. “You're late,” was Nelly's greet- ing. +The time had passed quickly after all. “Where shall we go?” Gecrgie asked. *“1 thought we'd go to my room,” Nelly said. She avoiced Georgie's eyes, and there was a hard note in her voice. “I thought I'd show you the sort of place I live in, so that you need not go on being friends with me any more unless you want lo.” “It won't make any difference,” Gecrgie assured her. “But I'd like to see your room.” “We’ll get on this 'bus.” She bundled Georgie on and sat down beside her. “I'm glac the rain's stopped,” she said. “I can’t afford to ruin my clothes.” She looked at the girl. “What have you been do Ing?” “I went to the pictures.” *Oh, to see Nicholas Boyd I sup- pose.” “No, he wasn’t on. pose he ‘will 'be any mcre. a long Jdme.” “Have you seen Nelly asked sharply. Geprgie hesitated, then she said “Yes.” Nelly gave a stifled exclamation. “Lord! hov did you manage it?” “I didn’t; it just sappened.” “Well 1 never.” They sat in silence for some mo- ments then Nelly said bitterly. “I never have any luck like that; things always go wrong for me. Here, we get down here,” They scrambled down, and sud- denly Georgie's hand closed tightly over the cigarette case in her coat pocket, remembering guiltily that she had put Asher's card beside it. Somehow she did not care for them to be together, and she care- fully took the card out and put it into her bhardbag. Nelly was walking very quickly. | “It’s a horrid neizhborhood,” she said, as they turned down a side atreet. “And the room’s horrid, \you'll hate it.” Not for him again?” HE fumbled in her pocket, then opened the door. Yes, it wasn't a very nice place, Georgie thought as she followed |Nelly in; tkere was a funny stuffy ismell about it; a mixture of wash- iing and cooking, and paraffin, and yet it looked clean enough. |, “Third floor,” Nelly said laconic- ally. > They climbed the narrow stair- case, and Nelly produced another |lu-1y and opened a room at the back {0t the house. | - A bed, a wardrobe, a small chest ot drawers with a hanging mirror |and a chair. | A strip of carpet by the bed, a small gas stove, ana a bunch of {flowers on the round centre table. “Well, sit down.” Georgie took the only ckair, while Nelly busied herself making tea.
