eyes, and said simply, "Please come, sir," with a sincerity which there
was no denying.
Mr Elgood beamed with satisfaction. "Come awa, then, ma bonnie men!"
he cried jauntily, and waved his stick in the air.
For the very first evening Margot could not help thinking that they had
made an excellent beginning!
