The Young Intruder
“She rose in the morning in time to have breakfast with Peter, having discovered that he took his at eight o’clock every day, before leaving for his office. Sometimes Priscilla was with them; sometimes she decided to have a tray in her room, and this was the course that Alison preferred, since Peter would talk to her if Priscilla was not there to do so. Otherwise, he would become immersed in his letters, and probably make a few notes of things he wished to remember to do during the day; but alwa...ys he said goodbye to her very charmingly, and often made suggestions of ways in which she might spend her day.Without Douglas, she might have found those days a little lonely. Priscilla was obviously anxious about her, feeling that she should be doing something to entertain the stranger within the gates, yet not wishing to do so. But Douglas was pleased that she was there; they spent a good deal of time together, and she went off on many shopping expeditions for him. Together, they made a note of new books they would like to read, and Alison would go off to buy them, and probably browse for so long in the fascinating shops that she would have to hurry back to be in time for luncheon.MoreLess
