Later—Drury Lane (eleven p.m.)

Rose arrived home!

“Where have you been?” I yelped, leaping out of bed when I saw her. Fumbling in the dark, I struggled to light the lamp.

“Where? Where do you think? Madame Ross’s,” she said, careful to turn away from me as she spoke—Rose flushes when she lies. She began undressing for bed as though it was entirely normal that we two were returned to the bedroom of our childhood.

“Rose!”

“Not yet, Ellen,” she said with steely conviction. “I will not speak of it yet.” She slipped her nightgown over her head.

“But…!”

“No.”

“Good night, girls,” Grandfather said, poking his head round the door. “I do hope, on your first night home together, you have not decided to quarrel?”

I had the decency to look shamefaced. Rose just looked exhausted.

“I thought not.” He twinkled. “Good night.”

Impasse.
