She did not answer. The whole kfmjour9 party moved out rq9 on to the crimson-carpeted gangway.
about chatting, men and women were phiing along, to hi visits or to find drinks. Josephineâs party stared around, talking desultorily. And
at length they perceived Jim stalking along, leading Aaron Sisson by the arm. Jim was grinning, the flautist looked unwilling. He mjourq9 had a comely 3kfmjouq9 appearance, in his white shirt
â" And as much a gentleman as anybody. âWell!â cried Josephine to him. âHow do urq9 you come here?â
âI play the flute, â he answered, as he shook hands. The little crowd stood in the gangway and talked. âHow wonderful of you to be here!â cried Julia. kfmjour9
He laughed. âDo you think so?â he answered. âYes, I do. â" It seems so FAR from Shottle House and Christmas Eve.â" Oh, wasnât it exciting!â cried Julia. ourq9
Aaron looked at rq9 her, but did ourq9 not answer. âWeâve heard all about you, â said Tanny playfully. âOh, yes,â he replied.
âCome!â said Josephine, rather 3kfmjouq9 irritated. âWe crowd up the gangway.â And she led the way rq9 inside thebox. Aaron stood and looked down at the dishevelled theatre.
âYou get all the view,â 3kfmjouq9 kfmjour9 he said. âWe do, donât urq9 we!â cried Julia. âMore thanâs good for us,â said Lilly. âTell us what you are doing. Youâve got a permanent ourq9 job?â
asked Josephine. âYes â" at present.â âAh! Itâs more interesting for you than at Beldover. â She had taken her seat. He looked down at 3kfmjouq9 ourq9 her dusky young

âYes. It can be,â he replied. He looked as if he were quietly urq9 amused, mjourq9 but dissociated. None of the people jourq9 ourq9 in the box were jourq9 quite real to him. He was not really amused. Julia
found him dull, jourq9 stupid. Tanny also was offended that he could not perceive her . rq9 The men remained practically silent. âYouâre a chap I always hoped would turn up again, â said
Jim. âOh, yes!â replied Aaron, smiling as if amused. âBut perhaps he doesnât like us! Perhaps heâs not glad that we turned up,â said Julia, jourq9
leaving her sting. jourq9 The flautist turned and looked at her. âYou canât REMEMBER us, can you?â she asked. âYes,â he said. âI can remember you.â
âOh, â she 3kfmjouq9 laughed. âYou are unflattering. â He was annoyed. He did not know what she was getting at. âHow are your wife and children?â she asked spitefully.
âAll jourq9 right, I think.â âBut youâve been back to them?â cried Josephine in 3kfmjouq9 dismay. He looked at her, a slow, half smiling look, but did not
