Her
colour
deepened
,
and
for
the
first
time
,
as
their
eyes
met
,
he
noticed
a
faint
embarrassment
in
hers
.
Could
it
be
that
his
nearness
was
,
after
all
,
the
cause
of
her
confusion
?
The
thought
turned
his
vague
impatience
with
her
into
a
definite
resentment
toward
himself
.
There
was
really
no
excuse
for
his
having
blundered
into
such
an
adventure
.
Why
had
he
not
shipped
the
girl
off
to
Joigny
by
the
evening
train
,
instead
of
urging
her
to
delay
,
and
using
Cerdine
as
a
pretext
?
Paris
was
full
of
people
he
knew
,
and
his
annoyance
was
increased
by
the
thought
that
some
friend
of
Mrs
Leath
’
s
might
see
him
at
the
play
,
and
report
his
presence
there
with
a
suspiciously
good
-
looking
companion
.
The
idea
was
distinctly
disagreeable
:
he
did
not
want
the
woman
he
adored
to
think
he
could
forget
her
for
a
moment
.
And
by
this
time
he
had
fully
persuaded
himself
that
a
letter
from
her
was
awaiting
him
,
and
had
even
gone
so
far
as
to
imagine
that
its
contents
might
annul
the
writer
’
s
telegraphed
injunction
,
and
call
him
to
her
side
at
once
.
.
.
At
the
porter
’
s
desk
a
brief
“
Pas
de
lettres
”
fell
destructively
on
the
fabric
of
these
hopes
.
Mrs
.
Leath
had
not
written
—
she
had
not
taken
the
trouble
to
explain
her
telegram
.
Darrow
turned
away
with
a
sharp
pang
of
humiliation
.
Her
frugal
silence
mocked
his
prodigality
of
hopes
and
fears
.
He
had
put
his
question
to
the
porter
once
before
,
on
returning
to
the
hotel
after
luncheon
;
and
now
,
coming
back
again
in
the
late
afternoon
,
he
was
met
by
the
same
denial
.
The
second
post
was
in
,
and
had
brought
him
nothing
.
A
glance
at
his
watch
showed
that
he
had
barely
time
to
dress
before
taking
Miss
Viner
out
to
dine
;
but
as
he
turned
to
the
lift
a
new
thought
struck
him
,
and
hurrying
back
into
the
hall
he
dashed
off
another
telegram
to
his
servant
:
“
Have
you
forwarded
any
letter
with
French
postmark
today
?
Telegraph
answer
Terminus
.
”
Some
kind
of
reply
would
be
certain
to
reach
him
on
his
return
from
the
theatre
,
and
he
would
then
know
definitely
whether
Mrs
.
Leath
meant
to
write
or
not
.
He
hastened
up
to
his
room
and
dressed
with
a
lighter
heart
.
Miss
Viner
’
s
vagrant
trunk
had
finally
found
its
way
to
its
owner
;
and
,
clad
in
such
modest
splendour
as
it
furnished
,
she
shone
at
Darrow
across
their
restaurant
table
.
In
the
reaction
of
his
wounded
vanity
he
found
her
prettier
and
more
interesting
than
before
.
Her
dress
,
sloping
away
from
the
throat
,
showed
the
graceful
set
of
her
head
on
its
slender
neck
,
and
the
wide
brim
of
her
hat
arched
above
her
hair
like
a
dusky
halo
.
Pleasure
danced
in
her
eyes
and
on
her
lips
,
and
as
she
shone
on
him
between
the
candle
-
shades
Darrow
felt
that
he
should
not
be
at
all
sorry
to
be
seen
with
her
in
public
.
He
even
sent
a
careless
glance
about
him
in
the
vague
hope
that
it
might
fall
on
an
acquaintance
.
At
the
theatre
her
vivacity
sank
into
a
breathless
hush
,
and
she
sat
intent
in
her
corner
of
their
baignoire
,
with
the
gaze
of
a
neophyte
about
to
be
initiated
into
the
sacred
mysteries
.
Darrow
placed
himself
behind
her
,
that
he
might
catch
her
profile
between
himself
and
the
stage
.
He
was
touched
by
the
youthful
seriousness
of
her
expression
.
In
spite
of
the
experiences
she
must
have
had
,
and
of
the
twenty
-
four
years
to
which
she
owned
,
she
struck
him
as
intrinsically
young
;
and
he
wondered
how
so
evanescent
a
quality
could
have
been
preserved
in
the
desiccating
Murrett
air
.
As
the
play
progressed
he
noticed
that
her
immobility
was
traversed
by
swift
flashes
of
perception
.
She
was
not
missing
anything
,
and
her
intensity
of
attention
when
Cerdine
was
on
the
stage
drew
an
anxious
line
between
her
brows
.
After
the
first
act
she
remained
for
a
few
minutes
rapt
and
motionless
;
then
she
turned
to
her
companion
with
a
quick
patter
of
questions
.
He
gathered
from
them
that
she
had
been
less
interested
in
following
the
general
drift
of
the
play
than
in
observing
the
details
of
its
interpretation
.
Every
gesture
and
inflection
of
the
great
actress
’
s
had
been
marked
and
analyzed
;
and
Darrow
felt
a
secret
gratification
in
being
appealed
to
as
an
authority
on
the
histrionic
art
.
His
interest
in
it
had
hitherto
been
merely
that
of
the
cultivated
young
man
curious
of
all
forms
of
artistic
expression
;
but
in
reply
to
her
questions
he
found
things
to
say
about
it
which
evidently
struck
his
listener
as
impressive
and
original
,
and
with
which
he
himself
was
not
,
on
the
whole
,
dissatisfied
.
Miss
Viner
was
much
more
concerned
to
hear
his
views
than
to
express
her
own
,
and
the
deference
with
which
she
received
his
comments
called
from
him
more
ideas
about
the
theatre
than
he
had
ever
supposed
himself
to
possess
.
