Edith was really growing more and more loyal in her friendship. There
certainly was something about Madame Frabelle that everybody, clever and

Later Edith received a telephone call from Landi. He told her that he
had seen Aylmer, who was going on well, that he had begged to see her,
and had been allowed by his doctor and nurse to receive a visit from her
on Saturday next. He said that Aylmer had been agitated because his boy
was going almost immediately to the front.
