"Nothing."
"I shan't take that for an answer. Remember, we have sworn to be
friends."
"Friends come to see each other."
Peter felt relieved; and smiled, "They do," he said, "when they can."
"No, they don't, sometimes," said Leonore severely. Then she unbent a
little. "Why haven't you been to see us? You've had a full week."
"Yes," said Peter, "I have had a very full week."
"Are you going to call on us, Mr. Stirling?"
"To whom are you talking?"
"To you."
"My name's Peter."
"That depends. Are you going to call on us?"
"That is my hope and wish."
Leonore unbent a little more. "If you are," she said, "I wish you would
do it soon, because mamma said to-day she thought of asking you to my
birthday dinner next Tuesday, but I said you oughtn't to be asked till
you had called."
"Did you know that bribery is unlawful?"
"Are you going to call?"
"Of course I am."
"That's better. When?"
"What evening are you to be at home?"
"To-morrow," said Leonore, beginning to curl up the corners of her
mouth.
