seven o'clock
Mademoiselle watched and waited for the blow she feared was about to fall . She felt sure that the girl was seeing Louis Akers , and that she would ultimately marry him . In her despair she fell back on Willy Cameron and persuaded Grace to invite him to dinner . It was meant to be a surprise for Lily , but she had telephoned at seven o'clock that she was dining at the Doyles ' . It was that evening that Willy Cameron learned that Mr. Hendricks had been right about Lily . He and Grace dined alone , for Howard was away at a political conference , and Anthony had dined at his club . And in the morning room after dinner Grace found herself giving him her confidence .
