Explore "The Gap in the Curtain" by John Buchan on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

"We've made an awful gaffe," she said. "Charles Ottery is here, and I find to my horror that Pamela Brune is coming tomorrow. I can't very well put her off, but you know that things have not been going well with her and Charles, and their being together may be very painful for both of them."
