world, with your back turned, can you see that?"
"It's with my back turned that I see most. She's looking at us hard."
"I don't care a hang!" said Tony gaily.
"Oh, I don't say it for myself!" But Rose withdrew her hand. Tony put both his own into his pockets. "I hope you'll let me say to you—very simply—that I believe you'll be very happy."
"I shall be as happy as a woman can be who has abandoned her post."
"Oh, your post!"—Tony made a joke of that now. But he instantly added: "Your post will be to honour us with your company at Bounds again; which, as a married woman, you see, you'll be perfectly able to do."
She smiled at him. "How you arrange things!" Then with a musing headshake: "We leave England."
"How you arrange them!" Tony exclaimed. "He goes back to China?"
"Very soon—he's doing so well."
Tony hesitated. "I hope he has made money."
