Hun- sry?” “Not very,” Georgie said politely, though she was. “Well I've gol the car outside,” Asher said. “It's not mine, it’s the Guv’nor’s, but he lent it to me.” “Your father?” Georgie asked. He nodded; he was busy tucking a rug round her knees. “He’s not a bad old piece,” he said. Georgie giggled; her spirits were rising, and she realized that per- haps after all she was zoing to h.—ue some fun. They drove away out of the sta- tihn yard and into the busy thor- oughfare. Georgie leaned back with a sense of imyortance; she had never ridden in such a smart car before, always excepting her moth- er's big landaulette, and she was surg that people must be looking at her in envy. Asher was quite smart too, she decided; she liked his coat—and then she sighed, remembering the big “pugh coat Boyd had sometimes worn on the boat coming home from America. There was such a differ- ence in men's coats; some of them made you want to snuggle up to them, and others . .. well, she was quite happy to keep a polite dis- tance from Asher's. She roused herself with an effort, remembering that it was her duty to make herself agreeble. “What is your father?” she asked. “A doctor.” *“Oh!” . . . It seemed funny how often doctors had come into her life lately. “That must be very interesting,” ghe said politely. “As a matter of fact he is what some people call ‘a fashionable West End docto#”,” he said jronic- ally. “He has & great many society women for patisuts ... actresses and 80 on.” “And film, stars®" Gecrgie asked. “Sometimes. Ho bad one the other day-—a wan tamed Boyd—" “Nichojas Bcyd? Georgie breathed. “I forget his ocher name.

Boyd wants to go back to the films or something.” *“And do you think they will make & job of him?” Georgle asked breath- lessly. “Don’t know. Might make him worse. 1 don’t believe in messing about; it seems a favorite trick nowadays. It I were the chap I'd leave it alone.” “You wouldn’t, if you'd been fa- mous, like he was,” Georgie said quickly. “He's got heanl of money, 0 he's alright.” “Does money make it nlrlghn" Georgie asked. Asher nodded. “I should think so. Wounldn't you lika a lot of money?” he asked. Georgie considered the point.- “There are other things I would rather have,” she said at last. “What things?” he persisted, but she would not tell him. - Asher turned the car into a quiet sfde- street. “We'll have to get out here and park the bus.” he said. “The res- taurant’s only just round the corner| it you don’t mind walking.” It tarned out to be qn}lzflomut restaurant. Asher had ked a they meant, Food did not trouble Georgie as long as there was something to eat when sha was hungry; she wonder- ed if Nicholas called food by French names and if he too had long con- sultations with waiters. Not re- cently, she supposed, seeing that he had been hiding away in the soli- | tude of the Boar’s Head. She lost herself in thoughts of him, wondering where he was now, and if she would ever see him again. “A penny for your thoughts” Asher said suddenly, and she turned with a startled movement ot her graceful head which made him | laugh. “You know there’s something about you that reminds me of a robin. It's the way you turn your head, I think, and that red frock. Do you mind if I nickname you | Robin?" The hot color rushed to Georgie's face. “Yes, I do,” she said sharply, and then with swift apology, “I'm sorry, but that’s someone else’'s name for me, someone very special.” “Oh.” There was a little silence. “A man, I suppose,” “Yes.” omepne who's in love with you?” “Oh mno.” Georgie smiled rather wistfully. in loye with me.” HE was glad that the Consommé | Froid arrived at that moment | and put an end to further question- | ing, and in the excitement of dis- covering that soup could he lcy cold the subject was forgotten, till pres- ently Asher asked, “What are you going to do with | your life?” “Do with it?” “Yes, most girls have got an idea what they want to do. Would you like to be married?” “1 don’t know. 1 haven't thought | about it.” “Most girls would.” “I've never had much to do with married people,” Georgle sald qua[nll}c you see.” “And this chap who calls you Robin?" Georgie flushed a little, “Oh, he’s married,” she said afri- ly. “But I §on’t know his wife.” “Don’t they live together?” There was a little silence, then Georgie said: “Just now she's in America, but she's coming home soon,” she added defensively, feel ing in a vague way that it sounded like a discredit to Nicholas that his wife should be on the other side of the Atlantic. Clifford Asher twisted the stem ot his wine glass. “Look here,” he said suddenly. “Will you come out with me again? Quite often, I mean? I can give you a good time, I'll take you to dances it you like dancing, and down the river; some friends of mine have | got a house down the river.” ‘The girl’s eyes sparkled. “But you couldn’t take me!” she sald. % Ot course I could, I've taken oth- er girls.” “Ob!" This was a little damper. | “Do you often take girls out?” she asked a trifie altgndodly. “Not often, but sometimes I have to. They ask me to their parties and things, and 1 have to return it “I see, 1 love the river,” Georgie said slowly. “I've only heen down it once, on a steamer from Hampton | Court, but I thought it was divine.” “I’ll take you in a punt.” “When?” She leaned toward him like an eager child, g “When you like.” (Copyright, 1933, Doubleday Dorn!
