Beneath the head a long face, sallow of hue; in either cheek a pit; between them a dominating nose carrying eyeglasses.

Ernesto Villa Rocca is a daily visitor at the Santos residence. A change has been inaugurated by the death of Marie Berard. There is a lovely girl there now, whose beauty shines out even by the side of Natalie the peerless. The heiress is at home. Not even to Villa Rocca does Natalie confide herself.
