"Nobody can help me really…. It's a thing I have to do myself. I hopedsomething wasn't true, but it is true. I don't know quite what to do about it."
"Are you in danger, Elvira?"
"Don't bemelodramatic, Bridget. I'll have to be careful, that's all. I'll have to be very careful."
"Then you are in danger."
Elvira said after a moment's pause, "I expect I'mjust imagining things, that's all."
"Elvira, what are you going to do about thatbracelet?"
"Oh, that's all right.I've arranged to get some money from someone, so I can go and –what's the word – redeem it. Then just take it back to Bollards."
"D'you think they'll be all right about it? – No, Mummy, it's just the laundry. They say we never sent that sheet. Yes, Mummy, yes, I'll tell the manageress. All right then."
At the other end of the line Elvira grinned and putdown the receiver. She opened her purse, sorted through her money, counted out the coinsshe needed and arranged them in front of her and proceeded to put through a call. When shegot the number she wanted she put in the necessary coins, pressed Button A and spoke in asmall rather breathless voice.
