They bought a camera , which was left that a neat `` P.W.C. '' might be stamped upon it , and went into Shreve 's , a place always fascinating to Susan , to leave Mr. Coleman 's watch to be regulated , and look at new scarf-pins .

At Sing Fat 's gorgeous bazaar , Peter bought a mandarin coat for himself , the smiling Oriental bringing its price down from two hundred dollars to less than three-quarters of that sum , and Susan taking a great fancy to a little howling teakwood god ; he bought that , too , and they named it `` Claude '' after much discussion . `` We ca n't carry all these things to the University Club for tea , '' said Peter then , when it was nearly five o'clock . `` So let 's go home and have tea with Aunt Clara -- she 'd love it ! '' Tea at his own home ! Susan 's heart raced -- `` Oh , I could n't , '' she said , in duty bound .
