Why
,
yes
,
I
did
have
an
important
business
banquet
to
attend
,
but
I
changed
my
mind
,
I
felt
like
having
dinner
with
you
tonight
,
"
he
said
in
the
tone
of
a
compliment
—
but
a
quiet
"
I
see
"
was
the
only
answer
he
obtained
.
He
felt
irritation
at
her
unastonished
manner
and
her
pale
,
unrevealing
face
.
He
felt
irritation
at
the
smooth
efficiency
with
which
she
gave
instructions
to
the
servants
,
then
at
finding
himself
in
the
candlelight
of
the
dining
room
,
facing
her
across
a
perfectly
appointed
table
,
with
two
crystal
cups
of
fruit
in
silver
bowls
of
ice
between
them
.
It
was
her
poise
that
irritated
him
most
;
she
was
no
longer
an
incongruous
little
freak
,
dwarfed
by
the
luxury
of
the
residence
which
a
famous
artist
had
designed
;
she
matched
it
.
She
sat
at
the
table
as
if
she
were
the
kind
of
hostess
that
room
had
the
right
to
demand
.
She
wore
a
tailored
housecoat
of
russet
-
colored
brocade
that
blended
with
the
bronze
of
her
hair
,
the
severe
simplicity
of
its
lines
serving
as
her
only
ornament
.
He
would
have
preferred
the
jingling
bracelets
and
rhinestone
buckles
of
her
past
.
Her
eyes
disturbed
him
,
as
they
had
for
months
:
they
were
neither
friendly
nor
hostile
,
but
watchful
and
questioning
.
"
I
closed
a
big
deal
today
,
"
he
said
,
his
tone
part
boastful
,
part
pleading
.
"
A
deal
involving
this
whole
continent
and
half
a
dozen
governments
.
"
He
realized
that
the
awe
,
the
admiration
,
the
eager
curiosity
he
had
expected
,
belonged
to
the
face
of
the
little
shop
girl
who
had
ceased
to
exist
.
He
saw
none
of
it
in
the
face
of
his
wife
;
even
anger
or
hatred
would
have
been
preferable
to
her
level
,
attentive
glance
;
the
glance
was
worse
than
accusing
,
it
was
inquiring
.
"
What
deal
,
Jim
?
"
"
What
do
you
mean
,
what
deal
?
Why
are
you
suspicious
?
Why
do
you
have
to
start
prying
at
once
?
"
"
I
’
m
sorry
.
I
didn
’
t
know
it
was
confidential
.
You
don
’
t
have
to
answer
me
.
"
"
It
’
s
not
confidential
.
"
He
waited
,
but
she
remained
silent
.
"
Well
?
