Gladys Weston looked at her daughter with horror. “You mean Gwennie Woodlas hinted that we couldn’t afford new clothes for the Christmas season? How dare she? I hope you put her right, Sian?”

“I said we weren’t in the mood for celebrating and that our Christmas would be a quiet one,” Sian replied.

“And there’s me organising a party and Gwennie knowing all about it? Good heavens, child, she must think we’ll be buying from the chain stores!”

“Does it matter what Gwennie Woodlas thinks, Mummy?”

“Her clientele includes everyone who is anyone in Pendragon Island. Of course it matters! Come on, find Sally and the girls and we’ll go at once and order dresses for the party.”

“But Sally and I haven’t enough money,” Sian protested.

“Neither have I according to your father, dear, but why should that stop us? Come on, call your sister. Five party dresses for a start. That will stop her spreading rumours about the Westons!”

Having arranged to meet her daughters and granddaughters at two, Gladys made another phone call, this time to Terrence Jenkins.

“We’re going to choose our dresses for the party,” she told him. “Perhaps you’d like to come and help Megan pick one that makes her look her best.” Terry agreed and persuaded his uncle’s maid to press his suit for the occasion. He needed to look his best too if he were to persuade Megan into a night of passion. Things were not looking very good. Megan had cooled towards him and he hated to think he’d been wasting his time, staying put in this small town and risking the writer of that letter finding him, all for nothing.
