> Marjorie, her hands in Pamela's, suddenly startled awake. "What?"
> She looked around, confused. "What happened...?"
"You passed out," Pamela said, patting her hand. "You're not hurt, and
I don't believe you're ill. If you feel all right, you can sit up --
slowly, now. You may feel dizzy, or a bit cold; that's perfectly ordinary."
> "You'd better bring her into our flat," said Florence worriedly. She
> moved along the corridor till she came to the service door entrance
> to Number 19, which she opened with a key from her bag. The Beamans'
> flat was opulently (if a little shabbily) furnished.
"Thank you, Mrs. Beaman; that's a lovely idea," Pamela said gratefully;
certainly it was better than going back into the Fitzroys'! She helped
Marjorie to her feet and shadowed her progress down the hall lest she go
weak in the knees.
> "Rest on the couch, dear," she instructed Marjorie. "I'll make
> everyone a nice cup of tea."
>
> She disappeared ino the kitchen.
With a wary glance first toward the door of the flat, then the kitchen
door, Pamela leaned close to Marjorie on the couch to murmur, "Is there
anything else I can do?"
