From time to time hefollowed the glances which both frequently directed to the stranger. Then, comparing the Countess with the new beauty, made so attractiveby a touch of mystery, the Baron fell a prey to the detestableself-interest common to adventurous lady-killers; he hesitatedbetween a fortune within his grasp and the indulgence of his caprice. The blaze of light gave such strong relief to his anxious and sullenface, against the hangings of white silk moreen brushed by his blackhair, that h...e might have been compared to an evil genius. Even from adistance more than one observer no doubt said to himself, "There isanother poor wretch who seems to be enjoying himself!" The Colonel, meanwhile, with one shoulder leaning lightly against theside-post of the doorway between the ballroom and the cardroom, couldlaugh undetected under his ample moustache; it amused him to look onat the turmoil of the dance; he could see a hundred pretty headsturning about in obedience to the figures; he could read in somefaces, as in those of the Countess and his friend Martial, the secretsof their agitation; and then, looking round, he wondered whatconnection there could be between the gloomy looks of the Comte deSoulanges, still seated on the sofa, and the plaintive expression ofthe fair unknown, on whose features the joys of hope and the anguishof involuntary dread were alternately legible.
