Desmond remarked, handing her empty cup across to his wife. Quita laughed. "You are incorrigible!" said she. "But there is still this to think of. With your friends coming and going, how am I to be . . accounted for till I have seen . . Eldred? If I am Miss Maurice, par exemple, what am I doing in Dera Ishmael? And if not . . ? Mon Dieu, but it's an ignominious tangle.

Was ever a pretty woman in a more humiliating position!"
