Morally
she
had
the
best
of
both
worlds
.
Everyone
knew
that
her
marriage
with
Michael
was
exemplary
.
She
was
a
pattern
of
conjugal
fidelity
.
At
the
same
time
many
people
in
that
particular
set
were
convinced
that
she
was
Charles
Tamerley
’
s
mistress
.
It
was
an
affair
that
was
supposed
to
have
been
going
on
so
long
that
it
had
acquired
respectability
,
and
tolerant
hostesses
when
they
were
asked
to
the
same
house
for
a
week
-
end
gave
them
adjoining
rooms
.
This
belief
had
been
started
by
Lady
Charles
,
from
whom
Charles
Tamerley
had
been
long
separated
,
and
in
point
of
fact
there
was
not
a
word
of
truth
in
it
.
The
only
foundation
for
it
was
that
Charles
had
been
madly
in
love
with
her
for
twenty
years
,
and
it
was
certainly
on
Julia
’
s
account
that
the
Tamerleys
,
who
had
never
got
on
very
well
,
agreed
to
separate
.
It
was
indeed
Lady
Charles
who
had
first
brought
Julia
and
Charles
together
.
They
happened
,
all
three
,
to
be
lunching
at
Dolly
de
Vries
’
s
when
Julia
,
a
young
actress
,
had
made
her
first
great
success
in
London
.
It
was
a
large
party
and
she
was
being
made
much
of
Lady
Charles
,
a
woman
of
over
thirty
then
,
who
had
the
reputation
of
being
a
beauty
,
though
except
for
her
eyes
she
had
not
a
good
feature
,
but
by
a
sort
of
brazen
audacity
managed
to
produce
an
effective
appearance
,
leant
across
the
table
with
a
gracious
smile
.
"
Oh
,
Miss
Lambert
,
I
think
I
used
to
know
your
father
in
Jersey
.
He
was
a
doctor
,
wasn
’
t
he
?
He
used
to
come
to
our
house
quite
often
.
"
Julia
felt
a
slight
sickness
in
the
pit
of
her
stomach
;
she
remembered
now
who
Lady
Charles
was
before
she
married
,
and
she
saw
the
trap
that
was
being
set
for
her
.
She
gave
a
rippling
laugh
.
"
Not
at
all
,
"
she
answered
.
"
He
was
a
vet
.
He
used
to
go
to
your
house
to
deliver
the
bitches
.
The
house
was
full
of
them
.
"
Lady
Charles
for
a
moment
did
not
quite
know
what
to
say
.
"
My
mother
was
very
fond
of
dogs
,
"
she
answered
.
Julia
was
glad
that
Michael
was
not
there
.
Poor
lamb
,
he
would
have
been
terribly
mortified
.
He
always
referred
to
her
father
as
Dr
.
Lambert
,
pronouncing
it
as
though
it
were
a
French
name
,
and
when
soon
after
the
war
he
died
and
her
mother
went
to
live
with
her
widowed
sister
at
St
.
Malo
he
began
to
speak
of
her
as
Madame
de
Lambert
.
At
the
beginning
of
her
career
Julia
had
been
somewhat
sensitive
on
the
point
,
but
when
once
she
was
established
as
a
great
actress
she
changed
her
mind
.
She
was
inclined
,
especially
among
the
great
,
to
insist
on
the
fact
that
her
father
had
been
a
vet
.
She
could
not
quite
have
explained
why
,
but
she
felt
that
by
so
doing
she
put
them
in
their
place
.
But
Charles
Tamerley
knew
that
his
wife
had
deliberately
tried
to
humiliate
the
young
woman
,
and
angered
,
went
out
of
his
way
to
be
nice
to
her
.
He
asked
her
if
he
might
be
allowed
to
call
and
brought
her
some
beautiful
flowers
.
He
was
then
a
man
of
nearly
forty
,
with
a
small
head
on
an
elegant
body
,
not
very
good
-
looking
but
of
distinguished
appearance
.
He
looked
very
well
-
bred
,
which
indeed
he
was
,
and
he
had
exquisite
manners
.
He
was
an
amateur
of
the
arts
.
He
bought
modern
pictures
and
collected
old
furniture
.
He
was
a
lover
of
music
and
exceedingly
well
read
.
At
first
it
amused
him
to
go
to
the
tiny
flat
off
the
Buckingham
Palace
Road
in
which
these
two
young
actors
lived
.
He
saw
that
they
were
poor
and
it
excited
him
to
get
into
touch
with
what
he
fondly
thought
was
Bohemia
.
He
came
several
times
and
he
thought
it
quite
an
adventure
when
they
asked
him
to
have
a
luncheon
with
them
which
was
cooked
and
served
by
a
scarecrow
of
a
woman
whom
they
called
Evie
.
This
was
life
.
He
did
not
pay
much
attention
to
Michael
who
seemed
to
him
,
notwithstanding
his
too
obvious
beauty
,
a
somewhat
ordinary
young
man
,
but
he
was
taken
by
Julia
.
She
had
a
warmth
,
a
force
of
character
,
and
a
bubbling
vitality
which
were
outside
his
experience
.
He
went
to
see
her
act
several
times
and
compared
her
performance
with
his
recollections
of
the
great
foreign
actresses
.
It
seemed
to
him
that
she
had
in
her
something
quite
individual
.
Her
magnetism
was
incontestable
.
It
gave
him
quite
a
thrill
to
realize
on
a
sudden
that
she
had
genius
.
