If Lucia cares to suggest that to me , and my guests consent , I do n't mind doing that .

Mrs Quantock stipulated that Lucia 's party should end at 10.45 precisely , if it did n't end before , and that everyone should then be free to flock across to her house . She proposed a romp that should even outshine Olga 's , and was deep in the study of a manual of `` Round Games , '' which included `` Hunt the Slipper . '' ... Georgie and Peppino took turns at the telephone , ringing up all Mrs Quantock 's guests , and informing them of the double pleasure which awaited them on Saturday .
