Summary
Inviting him to dinner so that she might not "miss an opportunity of quieter talk with you than I could have yesterday and if you can dine with us you will relieve me of a little embarrassment as I assured our friend Professor Warr that he had been talking with you, when it turned out to be some one quite other!...I should like to correct my old wife's haziness if you can aid me."
