âââTHANK YOU, NO,â said Richard firmly, âmuch as I would love the opportunity to buy you a pizza and watch you eat it, Dirk, I want to go straight home. I have to see Susan. Is that possible, Reg? Just straight to my flat? Iâll come up to Cambridge next week and collect my car.â
âWe are already there,â said Reg. âSimply step out of the door, and you are home in your own flat. It is early on Friday evening and the weekend lies before you.â
âThanks. Er, look, Dirk, Iâll see you around, OK? Do I owe you something? I donât know.â
Dirk waved the matter aside airily. âYou will hear from my Miss Pearce in due course,â he said.
âFine, OK, well, Iâll see you when Iâve had some rest. Itâs been, well, unexpected.â
He walked to the door and opened it. Stepping outside he found himself halfway up his own staircase, in the wall of which the door had materialized.
He was about to start up the stairs when he turned again as a thought struck him. He stepped back in, closing the door behind him.
âReg, could we make one tiny detour?â he said. âI think it would be a good move if I took Susan out for a meal tonight, only the place I have in mind you have to book in advance. Could you manage three weeks for me?â
âNothing could be easier,â said Reg, and made a subtle adjustment to the disposition of the beads on the abacus. âThere,â he said. âWe have traveled backward in time three weeks. You know where the phone is.â
Richard hurried up the internal staircase to Regâs bedroom and phoned LâEsprit dâEscalier. The maître dâ was charmed and delighted to take his reservation, and looked forward to seeing him in three weeksâ time. Richard went back downstairs shaking his head in wonder.
âI need a weekend of solid reality,â he said. âWho was that just going out of the door?â
âThat,â said Dirk, âwas your sofa being delivered. The man asked if we minded him opening the door so they could maneuver it round and I said we would be delighted.â
