‘Oh, pooh—if he wants to be, he can be much ruder than I was; we disliked each other on sight.’ She frowned a little as she spoke because her words didn’t ring quite true in her own ears, but the frown disappeared as Curtis came lumbering out of the sitting room to make much of her.
‘Professor Cresswell liked Curtis,’ observed Mrs Golightly. ‘He has two dogs of his own…’
‘Yes, I know—a Border terrier and a labrador. I’ve met them.’
‘So you’ve been to his house?’ Mrs Golightly’s question was uttered with deceptive casualness.
‘Only because I had to. Where’s Father?’
‘Playing bowls—he’ll be sorry to have missed Professor Cresswell.’
‘Well, he’s got Uncle Tom’s book. I’ll get my case…’
‘Tea’s in the sitting room—I made a cup for the Professor…’
‘Cresswell,’ finished Judith snappishly, and then allowed her tongue to betray her. ‘Where was he going, anyway?’
Her mother gave her a guileless look. ‘I didn’t ask,’ she said, which was true but misleading.
There was a lot to talk about and it all had to be repeated when her father got home. It was surprising how often Charles Cresswell’s name kept cropping up; Judith decided that her dislike of him had been so intense that it would take some time to get rid of his image. ‘Hateful man!’ she muttered as she unpacked. ‘Thank heaven I’ll never see him again!’
