Directly the boat came alongside. But it took me a deuce of a time to make out! My French is a bit rusty, and the rotters had jumbled up some of the words. As it is, I only made out the gist of it—to take an earlier train from London than I’d intended, and to call on you before going on to Ashurst, as I’d find you alone in a summer-house you’d built on some tree or other. The twiddly bits of the message didn’t somehow seem to make sense.... (LADY PATRICIA: The... twiddly bits?) Yes; something about a star in red water, and horses with white manes. Couldn’t make it out at all. (LADY PATRICIA: That was a quotation from De Musset, my poor boy.) Great Scott! I thought it was a cypher. People don’t generally quote poetry in their telegrams.
