Much later Solly woke, and found that Molly Cobbler was kicking him, gently but persistently. "It's time you went home, ducks," said she. "It's long after three."

"Good God," cried Solly, sitting up. "What'll Mother say?"

"Tell her you were in bed with a married woman, and didn't think it polite to hurry away," said Molly. And then, surprisingly, she kissed him. "Don't pay any attention to what Humphrey said; he was ill and cross. You'll find a way out."

Her kindness went right to Solly's heart, and he felt a sudden warmth there.

"Thanks," he said, and kissed her in return. "I know I will."

From force of habit he began to tiptoe down the stairs, then, recollecting where he was, he clumped noisily to the bottom, and thence out into the cool night. At least his mind was made up about one thing: he should have tried to protect Pearl from her father.
