The next day I kept a riding engagement with Lucy, but she didn't.
"She's gone for a walk with John," said Evelyn, who had come out of the
house to give me Lucy's messages of regret and apology.
"Lucy gone walking!" I exclaimed. "Have the heavens fallen?"
"Sometimes I think they have," said Evelyn. "But you know more about
that than I do."
"Know more about what?"
"Haven't you noticed?"
