She did not answer. The whole 8q912kfg party moved out f3g on to the crimson-carpeted gangway.
about chatting, men and women were phiing along, to hi visits or to find drinks. Josephineâs party stared around, talking desultorily. And
at length they perceived Jim stalking along, leading Aaron Sisson by the arm. Jim was grinning, the flautist looked unwilling. He 912kf3g had a comely 58q912k3g appearance, in his white shirt
â" And as much a gentleman as anybody. âWell!â cried Josephine to him. âHow do kf3g you come here?â
âI play the flute, â he answered, as he shook hands. The little crowd stood in the gangway and talked. âHow wonderful of you to be here!â cried Julia. 8q912kfg
He laughed. âDo you think so?â he answered. âYes, I do. â" It seems so FAR from Shottle House and Christmas Eve.â" Oh, wasnât it exciting!â cried Julia. 2kf3g
Aaron looked at f3g her, but did 2kf3g not answer. âWeâve heard all about you, â said Tanny playfully. âOh, yes,â he replied.
âCome!â said Josephine, rather 58q912k3g irritated. âWe crowd up the gangway.â And she led the way f3g inside thebox. Aaron stood and looked down at the dishevelled theatre.
âYou get all the view,â 58q912k3g 8q912kfg he said. âWe do, donât kf3g we!â cried Julia. âMore thanâs good for us,â said Lilly. âTell us what you are doing. Youâve got a permanent 2kf3g job?â
asked Josephine. âYes â" at present.â âAh! Itâs more interesting for you than at Beldover. â She had taken her seat. He looked down at 58q912k3g 2kf3g her dusky young
face. Her voice f3g was always clear and measured. âItâs a change,â he said, smiling. âOh, it must be more kf3g than that,â she 2kf3g said. âWhy, you must

âYes. It can be,â he replied. He looked as if he were quietly kf3g amused, 912kf3g but dissociated. None of the people 12kf3g 2kf3g in the box were 12kf3g quite real to him. He was not really amused. Julia
found him dull, 12kf3g stupid. Tanny also was offended that he could not perceive her . f3g The men remained practically silent. âYouâre a chap I always hoped would turn up again, â said
Jim. âOh, yes!â replied Aaron, smiling as if amused. âBut perhaps he doesnât like us! Perhaps heâs not glad that we turned up,â said Julia, 12kf3g
leaving her sting. 12kf3g The flautist turned and looked at her. âYou canât REMEMBER us, can you?â she asked. âYes,â he said. âI can remember you.â
âOh, â she 58q912k3g laughed. âYou are unflattering. â He was annoyed. He did not know what she was getting at. âHow are your wife and children?â she asked spitefully.
âAll 12kf3g right, I think.â âBut youâve been back to them?â cried Josephine in 58q912k3g dismay. He looked at her, a slow, half smiling look, but did not
seizing Aaron by the arm and dragging him off. The party stayed to the end of the interminable opera. .
