It was about a fortnight later that I went to Hugo’s room in
Clifford’s Inn and found him out.
We were going to Richmond that afternoon, the Addingtons and
Hugo and I, for a walk. I was to pick up Hugo first, and then
we were to go on to the Addingtons in Chelsea.
When I got there, Hugo was out. Guy opened the door, and I thought
he looked sorry.
He said:
‘He went off with Sophia to a Strindberg play. Did he know you
were going to come?’
