“At two.”

“And you are going back to lunch in hospital beforehand?”

“Yes.”

Adam was negotiating the drive-in to the hotel’s courtyard, and said no more until he had pulled up and was reaching for his gloves. Then: “In that case”—his tone was casually polite—“perhaps, when you’ve done what you have to do, you would lunch here with me? We could make it as early as you like, so that I could get you back in time for duty.”

For a moment Kathryn felt as if she had been trapped into the admission that she had nothing but a morning’s shopping and a routine hospital meal before her. Now, however reluctant she was to accept his invitation, she could not possibly refuse it. But in the next instant she realised that if her last night’s resolve had been anything more than the mere stuff of a false courage, here probably, was her chance to offer the explanation she had planned. Across a luncheon table they would achieve a brief intimacy that would have nothing of permanence behind it, of course, but which should give her an opportunity to bring in Steven’s name and to refer without too much embarrassment to last night’s occurrence, at which she still blushed.

They parted, agreeing to meet in the lounge of the Ulverstone at twelve-thirty. Kathryn, meanwhile, went about her errands in a kind of daze, and in the end was a little late for the appointment, owing to some delay over Matron’s business.

Adam chose the luncheon with a flattering concern for her preferences, and if only she had not had the shadow of that explanation hanging over her, Kathryn could have given herself up to the sheer, rare pleasure of being with him in such circumstances.
