He added that he was glad to have arrived in time to drink Miss Nugent's health, and proceeded to the dining-room. Freda did her best to talk to the few, and very select, ladies, who had been honoured by an invitation to dinner; and felt intense relief when, one after another, all the evening-party arrived.
