[MaC] Outside Number One Flat: Pamela and Philip

[Brian Schoner]

> Pamela caught up with him just outside Number One flat,

As she approached, she had head Philip's loud knocking, and calls of, "Mr.
Hodges, are you in? Mr. Hodges?"

> "Mum's gone to the Fitzroys' to look for help. Is he there?"

"Doesn't seem so. Let's hope he's at the party, or there's no telling where
he might be. I suppose I could have a look at it, but I'd hate to touch the
wrong thing at the wrong time..." He let the consequences of that thought go
unspoken, turning instead to look at Pamela.

"You needn't have come all the way down," he said, with mock disapproval. "A
Lady can't make her entrance at a party appearing as though she's
just...well...run up and down four flights of stairs."

When there was still no answer at Hodges' flat, Philip sighed. "May as well
head back up. Hopefully someone can turn up Hodges, or we'll need to move
the party downstairs and pass cocktails to the ladies through the bars of
the lift."
