`` Dear Mrs Lucas , `` I was in Riseholme this morning , and learn from Mrs Weston that Miss Bracely will be at your house on Saturday night . So I shall be enchanted to come to dinner after all . You must know that I make a rule of not going out in the evening , except for some special reason , but it would be a great pleasure to hear her sing again . I wonder if you would have dinner at 7:30 instead of 8 , as I do not like being out very late . '' There was a short pause . _ `` Caro , '' _ said Lucia , trembling violently , `` perhaps you would kindly tell Miss Lyall that I do not expect Miss Bracely on Saturday , and that I do not expect Lady Ambermere either . '' `` My dear -- '' he began .
