A Moment in Paris
“She and Diana had had a year together at the same Swiss finishing school, and that was one reason why Diana had thought it would be pleasant to work for her. But she had overlooked the fact that it is one thing to be young and carefree in a carefree establishment, and quite another to have to seek favours from an ex-roommate.Margot’s husband was some sort of junior attaché at the Embassy, and he enjoyed Paris almost as much as his wife did. Their flat had been a sort of club for their friends, both French and English, and their children had been left almost solely to the care of Diana. She had looked after them for three months, and endeavoured to get the better of a state of rowdy hoydenism which was the result of their having lived almost exclusively on the Continent without the right sort of supervision, and when Peter Fleming received an abrupt recall to London was almost relieved that she was to be deprived of a job.Not that she hadn’t grown very fond of the children—a boy and a ...girl—for they had some endearing qualities, but the endless parties that went on at the flat, and the apparently incurable irresponsibility of the parents, had begun to get her down.The one thing Margot had done for her was find her another position, and it was due to her that Diana had entered that imposing building where the Comte de Chatignard had an entire suite of offices.MoreLess
