Aileen
fancied
she
had
postponed
the
struggle
diplomatically
for
some
little
time
without
ending
it
,
when
at
two
o'clock
in
the
afternoon
her
door-bell
was
rung
and
the
name
of
Lynde
brought
up
.
"
He
said
he
was
sure
you
were
in
,
"
commented
the
footman
,
on
whom
had
been
pressed
a
dollar
,
"
and
would
you
see
him
for
just
a
moment
?
He
would
not
keep
you
more
than
a
moment
.
"
Aileen
,
taken
off
her
guard
by
this
effrontery
,
uncertain
as
to
whether
there
might
not
be
something
of
some
slight
import
concerning
which
he
wished
to
speak
to
her
,
quarreling
with
herself
because
of
her
indecision
,
really
fascinated
by
Lynde
as
a
rival
for
her
affections
,
and
remembering
his
jesting
,
coaxing
voice
of
the
morning
,
decided
to
go
down
.
She
was
lonely
,
and
,
clad
in
a
lavender
housegown
with
an
ermine
collar
and
sleeve
cuffs
,
was
reading
a
book
.

"
Show
him
into
the
music-room
,
"
she
said
to
the
lackey
.
When
she
entered
she
was
breathing
with
some
slight
difficulty
,
for
so
Lynde
affected
her
.
She
knew
she
had
displayed
fear
by
not
going
to
him
before
,
and
previous
cowardice
plainly
manifested
does
not
add
to
one
's
power
of
resistance
.
"
Oh
!
"
she
exclaimed
,
with
an
assumption
of
bravado
which
she
did
not
feel
.
"
I
did
n't
expect
to
see
you
so
soon
after
your
telephone
message
.
You
have
never
been
in
our
house
before
,
have
you
?
Wo
n't
you
put
up
your
coat
and
hat
and
come
into
the
gallery
?
It
's
brighter
there
,
and
you
might
be
interested
in
some
of
the
pictures
.
"
Lynde
,
who
was
seeking
for
any
pretext
whereby
he
might
prolong
his
stay
and
overcome
her
nervous
mood
,
accepted
,
pretending
,
however
,
that
he
was
merely
passing
and
with
a
moment
to
spare
.
"
Thought
I
'd
get
just
one
glimpse
of
you
again
.
Could
n't
resist
the
temptation
to
look
in
.
Stunning
room
,
is
n't
it
?
Spacious
--
and
there
you
are
!
Who
did
that
?
Oh
,
I
see
--
Van
Beers
.

And
a
jolly
fine
piece
of
work
it
is
,
too
,
charming
.
"
He
surveyed
her
and
then
turned
back
to
the
picture
where
,
ten
years
younger
,
buoyant
,
hopeful
,
carrying
her
blue-and-white
striped
parasol
,
she
sat
on
a
stone
bench
against
the
Dutch
background
of
sky
and
clouds
.
Charmed
by
the
picture
she
presented
in
both
cases
,
he
was
genially
complimentary
.
To-day
she
was
stouter
,
ruddier
--
the
fiber
of
her
had
hardened
,
as
it
does
with
so
many
as
the
years
come
on
;
but
she
was
still
in
full
bloom
--
a
little
late
in
the
summer
,
but
in
full
bloom
.
"
Oh
yes
;
and
this
Rembrandt
--
I
'm
surprised
!
I
did
not
know
your
husband
's
collection
was
so
representative
.
Israels
,
I
see
,
and
Gerome
,
and
Meissonier
!
Gad
!
It
is
a
representative
collection
,
is
n't
it
?
