One of them was clothed in costly attire and looked shabby; the other was dressed in one-and-eleven-three materials and looked smart - quite smart. "Th - there doesn't appear to be a table - let's go on to Daridges'," murmured the unsmart woman vaguely and helplessly. But her companion paid no heed to this suggestion. She just stepped forward, trailed her one-and-eleven-three draperies over the thick spongy carpet and looked every occupant of every table full in the face. Midway up the second room she halted in front of two persons of the type inoffensive and sex feminine. They had evidently come up from the suburbs and intended to absorb every possibility which a two-shilling tea might hold. But Katherine Orlitson intended differently. She glanced deferentially at their half-empty cups, still more deferentially at their warm faces, and then turned to her companion.
