It had n't been till May of that year that Lucy began to think about Urquhart -- or rather it was in May that she discovered herself to be thinking about him . Mabel assisted her there . Mabel was in Cadogan Square for the season , and the sisters saw much of each other . Now it happened that one day Mabel had seen Lucy with Urquhart walking down Bond Street , at noon or thereabouts , and had passed by on the other side with no more than a wave of the hand . It was all much simpler than it looked , really , because Lucy had been to James 's office , which was in Cork Street , and coming away had met Jimmy Urquhart in Burlington Gardens . He had strolled on with her , and was telling her that he had been waterplaning on Chichester Harbour and was getting rather bitten with the whole business of flight . `` I 'm too old , I know , but I 'm still ass enough to take risks .
