With Captain Rodney and Sir Nicholas she makes way at once, though she is a little nervous and depressed, and not altogether like her usual gay insouciant self. She is thrown back upon herself, and, like a timid snail, recoils sadly into her shell. "Come and sit by me. You can spare me a few minutes," she says, drawing her ample skirts to one side.
