It was the hour when even those whose business it is to attend to the wants of others have a moment or two for themselves. In the housekeeper's room Audrey Stevens, the pretty parlour-maid, re-trimmed her best hat, and talked idly to her aunt, the cook-housekeeper of Mr. Mark Ablett's bachelor home. For Joe? said Mrs. Stevens placidly, her eye on the hat. Audrey nodded. She took a pin from her mouth, found a place in the hat for it, and said, He likes a bit of pink. I don't say I mind a bit of pink myself, said her aunt. Joe Turner isn't the only one. It isn't everybody's colour, said Audrey, holding the hat out at arm's length, and regarding it thoughtfully. Stylish, isn't it? Oh, it'll suit you all right, and it would have suited me at your age. A bit too dressy for me now, though wearing better than some other people, I daresay. I was never the one to pretend to be what I wasn't. If I'm fifty-five, I'm fifty-five-that's what I say. Fifty-eight, isn't it, auntie? I was just giving that as an example, said Mrs. Stevens with great dignity.
