Guy Renton
“It wasn’t. Mrs. Renton on the contrary welcomed the move.
“We’ve seen more of you, Guy, since you took a flat; and a much nicer side of you. Before you only dined at home when you had nothing to do more amusing or because some plan had broken down. In one case you’d be disappointed and short-tempered, in the other you’d be overtired and go to bed early. Now you come out when you want to see us; we make an occasion of it. And because we haven’t been seeing you for odd five minutes every day you’...ve a lot to tell us. I’m sure I’m much more in touch with you now than I was two years ago. I hope it’ll be the same with Margery.”
As regards himself very certainly it was. Margery took a flat off the Fulham Road, within three minutes’ walk of a 14 bus-stop, the bus that passed within a minute of his flat and it was easy for her to drop in on him on her way back from work. The advertising proposition put by her new friends had been approved; she had joined their firm and when they had any work to discuss they found it pleasanter to sit in a flat than in an office.MoreLess
