Shall
I
see
you
if
I
come
?
"
I
said
in
a
lower
tone
.
"
If
you
wish
it
--
certainly
!
"
Our
eyes
met
;
and
I
knew
by
instinct
that
she
read
my
thoughts
.
I
pressed
her
hand
again
and
was
not
repulsed
--
then
bowing
profoundly
,
I
left
her
to
make
my
adieux
to
Lord
Elton
and
Miss
Chesney
,
who
seemed
terribly
upset
and
frightened
.
Miss
Charlotte
Fitzroy
had
left
the
room
in
attendance
on
her
sister
,
and
she
did
not
return
to
bid
us
good-night
.
Rimânez
lingered
a
moment
behind
me
to
say
another
word
or
two
to
the
Earl
,
and
when
he
joined
me
in
the
hall
and
threw
on
his
opera-coat
,
he
was
smiling
to
himself
somewhat
singularly
.
"
An
unpleasant
end
for
Helena
,
Countess
of
Elton
"
--
he
said
,
when
we
were
in
our
brougham
,
driving
away
--
"
Paralysis
is
perhaps
the
worst
of
all
the
physical
punishments
that
can
befall
a
'
rapid
'
lady
.
"
"
Was
she
'
rapid
'
?
"
"
Well
--
perhaps
'
rapid
'
is
too
mild
a
term
,
but
I
can
find
no
other
;
"
--
he
answered
--
"
When
she
was
young
--
she
is
barely
fifty
now
--
she
did
everything
that
could
be
done
by
woman
at
her
worst
and
wildest
.
She
had
scores
of
lovers
--
and
I
believe
one
of
them
cleared
off
her
husband
's
turf-debts
--
the
Earl
consenting
gladly
--
on
a
rather
pressing
occasion
.
"
"
What
disgraceful
conduct
!
"
I
exclaimed
.
He
looked
at
me
with
an
expression
of
cynical
amusement
.
"
Think
so
?
The
'
upper
ten
'
quite
condone
that
sort
of
thing
in
their
own
set
now-a-days
.
It
is
all
right
.
If
a
lady
has
lovers
,
and
her
husband
beams
benevolence
on
the
situation
what
can
be
said
?
Nothing
.
How
very
tender
your
conscience
is
,
Geoffrey
!
"
I
sat
silent
,
thinking
.
My
companion
lit
a
cigarette
and
offered
me
one
.
I
took
it
mechanically
without
lighting
it
.
