u will do your best to broaden her；〃 said Lenox； with a grin； 〃but you will have your work cut out。 Just now； you noticed； she stuck down her forefeet and laid back her ears and refused to budge。〃
〃Anyway；〃 said Lady Tamplin hopefully； 〃she doesn't look to me at all mean。 Some people； when they e into money； seem to attach undue importance to it。〃
〃Oh； you'll easily touch her for what you want；〃 said Lenox； 〃and； after all； that is all that matters； isn't it？ That is what she is here for。〃
〃She is my own cousin；〃 said Lady Tamplin； with dignity。
〃Cousin； eh？〃 said Mr Evans； waking up again。 〃I suppose I call her Katherine； don't I？〃
〃It is of no importance at all what you call her； Chubby；〃 said Lady Tamplin。
〃Good；〃 said Mr Evans； 〃then I will。 Do you suppose she plays tennis？〃 he added hopefully。
〃Of course not；〃 said Lady Tamplin。 〃She has been a panion； I tell you。 panions don't play tennis … or golf。 They might possibly play golf…croquet； but I have always understood that they wind wool and wash dogs most of the day。〃
〃O God！〃 said Mr Evans； 〃do they really？〃
Lenox drifted upstairs again to Katherine's room。 〃Can I help you？〃 she asked rather perfunctorily。
On Katherine's disclaimer； Lenox sat on the edge of the bed and stared thoughtfully at her guest。
〃Why did you e？〃 she said at last。 〃To us； I mean。 We're not your sort。〃
〃Oh； I am anxious to get into Society。〃
〃Don't be an ass；
