The young man that Ariadne loves is a more than friend of Lady Scilly, and I knew him first. He was there that day I lunched for the first time. On rice-pudding, I remember. Ariadne hardly knew him till we came here, though they had both taken part in Christina's wedding. He had just noticed her then; for once she was well turned out. On the strength of that notice she asked him to call, and he didn't; he would call now if she asked him, but we don't want him coming to the house on the quay, for we couldn't insulate Aunt Gerty.
He stays with Lady Scilly in the house she has taken in St. Hilda's Terrace. Irene Lauderdale is there. He hates Irene, and contrives never to be in her company more than he can help! That's one to us.
