Chapter XXXIV
BEHIND THE PALM TREES Lady Peggy was fussing round the drawing-room, talking to all her guests at once. "I haven't the least idea who takes anybody in," she declared. "James said he'd see to that, so you might just as well put your hand in a lucky-bag. And I'm not at all sure that you'll get any dinner. I've got a new _chef_--drives up in a high dogcart with such a sweet little groom.
