Violet was crying softly, lying back in the depths of a great arm-chair.
"Poor Alex! I never guessed Malden Road was like that. Why did she go there? Oh, poor Alex!"
"You were nicer to her than any of us, Violet," said Archie gruffly. "She was awfully fond of you, wasn't she, and of the little kid?"

"Oh, Cedric," said Barbara with a sudden catch in her voice.
"Don't you remember – Alex was such a pretty little girl!"
