Lady Davenant got up and came and sat on the sofa beside her : she put her arms round her and the two women embraced. 'Your room is all ready,' the old lady remarked. And then she said, ' When did she leave you ? When did you see her last ?' ' Oh, in the strangest, maddest, crudest way, the way most insulting to me. We went to the opera together and she left me there with a gentleman. We know nothing about her since.' 4 With a gentleman ? ' • With Mr. Wendover — that American, and some- thing t...oo dreadful happened.' ' Dear me, did he kiss you ? ' asked Lady Dave- nant. Laura got up quickly, turning away. ' Good-bye, I'm going, I'm going I ' And in reply to an irritated, protesting exclamation from her companion she went on, ' Anywhere — anywhere to get away ! ' 'To get away from your American ? ' 'I asked him to marry mel' The girl turned round with her tragic face. ' He oughtn't to have left that to you.' . 'I knew this horror was coming and it took possession of me, there in the box, from one moment to the other — the idea of making sure of some other life, some protection, some respectability.
