"And I'll see if there's anythink to be done for Mr. Phil—"

"Oh, he was called back to the hospital," she told him.

Withers clucked disapprovingly. "Drat that hospital ! What's the registrar bloke for? Consultants like Mr. Phil didn't ought to get so many night calls !"

He was down the stairs and his voice faded away. But what he said was true, Ronnie thought. Few of the other consultants were called out at night.

She found her father propped up on his pillows, looking a little sallow and tired but smiling. "I have enjoyed this evening," he told her. "Come and talk to me for a bit and tell me all the news I didn't manage to pick up. Somehow there never is time to talk to all the people you want to. That's the worst of cocktail parties—you start so many conversations and never seem to have time to finish them. What was Leslie Fisher saying? Something about grandchildren—where'd he get 'em from, that's what I want to know."

"Oh well," Ronnie wrinkled her nose, "he had a daughter—that awful Sybil creature. I suppose she's married by now."

"But she was only a child with long pigtails !" Toby looked quite disturbed.

"Yes, but that was some years ago," Ronnie told him. "She's quite a bit younger than I am, but maybe she had twins—that would account for the plural."

"I suppose so," Toby sighed. "I wish you were married, Ronnie m'dear. I'd like to have seen you settled before I—I mean, I'd like to have had some grandchildren. I missed most of your childhood through being abroad, and I've always looked forward to having grandchildren of my own,."
