3 change of plan was made. When Mr. T. remembered his agreement with Mrs. C. he dashed off to try to get them, but failed. Mrs. T’s father ( Mr. Chick ) is a lace merchant & has dealt in rare old laces for forty-eight years, in a tiny shop. He showed us some beautiful & valuable specimens: one worth twenty-five hundred dollards, & one a collar worn by Queen Victoria when a child! He is a type — whistles his sibilants thru his teeth when he talks & says “hey”? to every remark one makes. He gave us a good lunch at a café & then Mrs. & Mr. Tansley took us for a walk thru the shopping district, showing us various places of interest besides. Mrs. T. & I stopped so often to look into the fascinating shop windows, that Mr. T. lost patience. So we obediently trotted on ahead. When we looked back to see if the men were coming, we caught them in the act of stopping to look into a window! Mr. T. acted like a naughty boy caught with the jam! I took occasion to rub it in a little. It was very fortunate that I had done practically all my shopping, for the half-day I had planned for it in London , dwindled to two hours
