One evening, about a fortnight later, Sir Garth Fratten and Leopold Hessel walked down the steps of the "Wanderers," in St. James's Square, of which rather large-hearted club Hessel was a member, and turned towards Waterloo Place. Fratten usually spent an hour or so at his club, or that of one of his friends, in the evening and walked home afterwards across the Park to his house in Queen Anne's Gate. It was, in fact, the only exercise that he got in the day.
"Thanks for my tea, Leo," said Sir Garth. "First-rate China tea it was too -- I wonder where you get it?"
