Jean Arbuthnot stood on the steps of Claridge&#39;s Hotel, feeling uncomfortably small.<br />She hadn&#39;t minded the mysterious Turk who had suggested himself as a pupil desiring to master the English language by travelling abroad with her. It wasn&#39;t poor Miss Pratt the agent&#39;s fault that foreigners were often fishy.<br />A cool English manner and a History First had easily disposed of the Turk&#39;s olive complexion and melting chocolate eyes.<br />Jean had simply looked along her nose and dropped ice into her voice and the thing was over.
