“I hear that Soames is going to Henley tomorrow for the night. I thought it would be great fun if we made up a little party and drove down to Richmond. Will you ask

“Emily (they called their mother Emily⁠—it was so chic) will lend us the carriage. I will call for you and your young man at seven o’clock.
