When Wyndham came back to Queen's Gate his wife met him with sparkling eyes.
"How much time can you give me to-morrow? " she said. "I want to go out with you. I have been speaking to father, and he accedes to all our wishes -- he will give us an income. He says he thinks a thousand a year will be enough. Oh, he is kind, and I feel so excited. Don't let us drive, let us walk home, Gerry. I know the night is fine. I feel that everything is bright just now, and you will come with me to-morrow, won't you, Gerry? Father, could you spare Gerald from business to-morrow? You know it is so important."
