Wodehouse This was Sally Preston's first evening in Millbourne. She had arrived by the afternoon train from London—not of her own free will. Left to herself, she would not have come within sixty miles of the place. London supplied all that she demanded from life. She had been born in London; she had lived there ever since—she hoped to die there. She liked fogs, motor-buses, noise, policemen, paper-boys, shops, taxi-cabs, artificial light, stone pavements, houses in long, grey rows, mud, banana-skins, and moving-picture exhibitions. Especially moving-picture exhibitions. It was, indeed, her taste for these that had caused her banishment to Millbourne. The great public is not yet unanimous on the subject of moving-picture exhibitions. Sally, as I have said, approved of them. Her father, on the other hand, did not. An austere ex-teacher, who let lodgings in Ebury Street and tutored on Saturdays in Hyde Park, he looked askance at the 'movies'. It was his boast that he had never been inside a theatre, and he classed cinema palaces with theatres as colossal time wasters. Sally, suddenly unmasked as an habitual frequenter of these places, sprang with one bound into prominence as the Errant Girl of the Family destined for failure. Instant removal from temptation being the only possible plan, Mr. Preston convinced himself that a trip to the country was indicated. He selected Millbourne because his sister Jane, who had been a parlour-maid to a retired general nearby, was now married and living in the village. Certainly he could not have chosen a more promising reformatory for Sally. Here, if anywhere, might she forget the heady joys of the cinema. Tucked away in the corner of its little bay, which an accommodating island converts into a still lagoon, Millbourne lies dozing. In all sleepy Hampshire there is no sleepier spot being a place of calm-eyed men and drowsy dogs. Things crumble away and are not replaced because tradesmen book orders, and then lose interest and forget to deliver the goods. Only centenarians die, and nobody worries about anything—or did not until Sally came and gave them something to worry about.
