Can
I drop you anywhere?"
"Thank you so much," he answered. "My rooms are quite close by here in
Clarges Street."
"Get in, please, and I will take you there," she ordered. "Tell the man
the number. I want just one word with you."
The car started off. Lady Alice looked at her companion and shook her
head.
"Mr. Tallente," she said, "I am very much a woman of the world and Jane
is a very much stronger person than I am, in some things, and a great
baby in others. You and she were such friends and I have an idea that
there was a misunderstanding."
"There was," he groaned. "It was my fault."
"Never mind whose fault it was," she went on. "You two were made for
each other. You have so much in common. Don't drift apart altogether,
just because one has expected too much, or the other been content to
give too little. Jane has a great soul and a great heart. She wants to
give but she doesn't quite know how. And perhaps there isn't any way.
But two people whose lives seem to radiate towards each other, as yours
and hers, shouldn't remain wholly apart.
