Описание: "Punctually at nine o'clock next morning, Peter arrived.Looking at him through the dining-room window, as he stood paying the taxi, as he walked-carrying his heavy leather dressing-bag easily as though it had been a dispatch-case-up the steps, he seemed to Patricia, above all things, an adequate person. The long, blue, belted Chesterfield over-coat-fur-lined but not fur-collared; the gray squash hat; brown gloves; ribbed socks; brown, carefully-polished brogue shoes; all betokened, in her eyes, efficiency. And when, after the usual greeting to Smith-("Mrs. Jameson in the dining-room? Right. Just take this coat of mine, will you? And you might unpack for me at once")-he came into the room, the impression deepened.The cheek she kissed was newly shaven; the dark hair smooth-brushed; the moustache clipped soldier-fashion. He had-an invariable habit-taken his bath on the boat; arrived spick and span, ready for the day's work. The gray eyes were clear, healthy: unusually merry, she thought."Breakfast?" she asked, after he had returned her kiss. "It's quite ready.""
