“I would be enjoying it more,” Giles replied, “if I did not keep remembering that I have to go back to the country.”
“It may not be for long,” Celesta said consolingly. “We have not had time to talk about things yet, Giles, but I am sure that there is something you can do to make money.”
“The only way of making money,” he answered, “is by gaming and I would not get far on the pittance I have in my pocket at the moment.”
“Please don’t throw it away,” Celesta urged him quickly. “I was thinking that perhaps you could find – work of some sort.”
“Work?” Giles expostulated. “What the devil do you think I could do?”
“I feel there must be something, but don’t let us talk of it now, Giles, I am so happy. It is so marvellous to be here.”
“And I was very surprised to learn of your whereabouts.”
