She
seemed
to
have
suddenly
dispensed
with
her
former
reserve
,
and
during
the
last
act
of
the
play
,
we
conversed
freely
,
in
whispers
which
assisted
us
to
become
almost
confidential
.
Her
manner
to
me
now
was
full
of
grace
and
charm
,
and
the
fascination
she
exerted
over
my
senses
became
complete
.
The
performance
over
,
we
all
left
the
box
together
,
and
as
Lucio
was
still
apparently
engrossed
with
Lord
Elton
I
had
the
satisfaction
of
escorting
Lady
Sibyl
to
her
carriage
.
When
her
father
joined
her
,
Lucio
and
I
both
stood
together
looking
in
at
the
window
of
the
brougham
,
and
the
Earl
,
getting
hold
of
my
hand
shook
it
up
and
down
with
boisterous
friendliness
.
"
Come
and
dine
--
come
and
dine
!
"
he
spluttered
excitedly
;
"
Come
--
let
me
see
--
this
is
Tuesday
--
come
on
Thursday
.
Short
notice
and
no
ceremony
!
My
wife
is
paralysed
I
'm
sorry
to
say
--
she
ca
n't
receive
--
she
can
only
see
a
few
people
now
and
then
when
she
is
in
the
humour
--
her
sister
keeps
house
and
does
the
honours
--
Aunt
Charlotte
,
eh
Sibyl
?
--
ha-ha-ha
!
The
Deceased
Wife
's
Sister
's
Bill
would
never
be
any
use
to
me
,
for
if
my
wife
were
to
die
I
should
n't
be
anxious
to
marry
Miss
Charlotte
Fitzroy
!
Ha
ha
ha
!
A
perfectly
unapproachable
woman
sir
!
--
a
model
--
ha
ha
!
Come
and
dine
with
us
,
Mr
Tempest
--
Lucio
,
you
bring
him
along
with
you
,
eh
?
We
've
got
a
young
lady
staying
with
us
--
an
American
,
dollars
,
accent
and
all
--
and
by
Jove
I
believe
she
wants
to
marry
me
ha
ha
ha
!
and
is
waiting
for
Lady
Elton
to
go
to
a
better
world
first
,
ha
ha
!
Come
along
--
come
and
see
the
little
American
,
eh
?
Thursday
shall
it
be
?
"
Over
the
fair
features
of
Lady
Sibyl
there
passed
a
faint
shadow
of
annoyance
at
her
father
's
allusion
to
the
"
little
American
,
"
but
she
said
nothing
.
Only
her
looks
appeared
to
question
our
intentions
as
well
as
to
persuade
our
wills
,
and
she
seemed
satisfied
when
we
both
accepted
the
invitation
given
.
Another
apoplectic
chuckle
from
the
Earl
and
a
couple
of
handshakes
--
a
slight
graceful
bow
from
her
lovely
ladyship
,
as
we
raised
our
hats
in
farewell
,
and
the
Elton
equipage
rolled
away
,
leaving
us
to
enter
our
own
vehicle
,
which
amid
the
officious
roarings
of
street-boys
and
policemen
had
just
managed
to
draw
up
in
front
of
the
theatre
.
As
we
drove
off
,
Lucio
peered
inquisitively
at
me
--
I
could
see
the
steely
glitter
of
his
fine
eyes
in
the
semi-darkness
of
the
brougham
--
and
said
--
"
Well
?
"
I
was
silent
.
"
Do
n't
you
admire
her
?
"
he
went
on
--
"
I
must
confess
she
is
cold
--
a
very
chilly
vestal
indeed
--
but
snow
often
covers
volcanoes
!
She
has
good
features
,
and
a
naturally
clear
complexion
.
"
Despite
my
intention
to
be
reticent
,
I
could
not
endure
this
tame
description
.
"
She
is
perfectly
beautiful
,
"
--
I
said
emphatically
.
"
The
dullest
eyes
must
see
that
.
There
is
not
a
fault
to
be
found
with
her
.
And
she
is
wise
to
be
reserved
and
cold
--
were
she
too
lavish
of
her
smiles
and
too
seductive
in
manner
,
she
might
drive
many
men
not
only
into
folly
,
but
madness
.
