Bindo had been back in Monty a week, and one evening I had seen him with "The President," leaning over the balustrade of the terrace before the Casino, with their faces turned to the moonlit sea and the gaily-lit rock of Monaco. They were in deep, earnest conversation; therefore I turned back and left them. It would not do, I knew, if Bindo discovered me in the vicinity.
I think I feel fairly safe this evening, at any rate." The cab drove off, skirting the gaily-lit crescent of Regent Street. The smile almost at once died away from her lips. She leaned forward and looked at herself in one of the oblong mirrors. Her face was almost colourless, the skin seemed drawn closely round her eyes, giving her almost a strained look.
She sat there thinking, seeing nothing of the crowds of fashionably dressed women and men passing in and out of the hotel; of the gaily-lit square outside, the cool green of the gardens, the café opposite, the brilliantly-lit Casino. She was back again for a moment in England.
In a few moments the gaily-lit terrace was practically deserted, and an eager-faced crowd pressed up against the green-clothed tables, each individual eager to secure a good place. For a little while Ann contented herself with watching. "Faites vos jeux, messieurs. Messieurs, faites vos jeux."
"Come in, and have a parting drink for good luck," said Dent, pointing to the gaily-lit public house. Will shook his hand from his arm. "You know my mind on that point," he said. "We took a voyage together, so we needn't talk it all out now. Good-night, Dent, I'm off to bed." But Dent had no idea of letting Will off so easy. "Look here," he said "what shall I pay you for that berth of your'n?
He did not, however, feel like more drinks; the exhilaration of the play, of his own youth, now for the first time tingling unrestrainedly in his veins, the glamour of the gaily-lit night they had wandered as far as the Haymarket, which was ablaze till dawn were all enough for him, and he felt that anything more would have blurred their keenness. Suddenly Carminow had an inspiration.
