"I'm going first to Mr. Pruyn's, and afterward to Lakefield." "To Lakefield? Then I'll go with you. We could go in the car." Diane negatived both suggestions. The motor might break down, or the chauffeur might lose his way; the train would be safer. If any one went with her, it would have to be Mr. Pruyn.
Before she had finished the concluding words, or Wappinger had withdrawn his hand from Dorothea's muff, she had glided across the floor, and disturbed the young people from their absorption in each other. "Mr. Wappinger," Derek heard her say, as he approached, "I want you to introduce me to Miss Pruyn. I'm Mrs. Eveleth, Miss Pruyn," she continued, without waiting for Carli's intermediary offices.
"Exactly; you come down on the poor thing when she's not doing any harm, and you put no restrictions on the things in which she's wilful. If there's a girl on earth who is being brought up backward, it's Dorothea Pruyn." "She's my child. I presume I've got a right to do what I like with her."

The onlooker, like Lucilla van Tromp or Derek Pruyn, might wonder what were those hidden forces of affinity which led a man to single Mrs. Wappinger out of all the women in the world; but to Mrs. Wappinger herself the circumstance could not be otherwise than pleasing.
Eveleth looked up, startled. "George died?" she questioned, slowly, with a look of wonder. Diane nodded, unable, for the minute, to speak. "But we know how he died." "Mr. Pruyn tells me that we don't." "I beg you not to put it in that way," Derek said, hurriedly. "I repeated only what was told me, and what was afterward verified. Do you not think we can spare Mrs. Eveleth what must be so painful?"
With the information she already possessed from Diane's letter it was impossible for Lucilla not to recognize all the characters as readily as Derek Pruyn had done, while she had the advantage over him of knowing Marion Grimston's place in the action. It was a dreadful story, and if Miss Lucilla was not more profoundly shocked it was because Mrs.
Again the young man attempted the ceremonious by apologizing for the informality of his surroundings and the state of his dress; but again he faltered before the haggard glare in Derek's eyes. "I want to talk to you," Pruyn said, abruptly. Bienville made a gesture of mingled politeness and astonishment. "Certainly; but shall we not sit down while we do it? Will you smoke?
I desire, first, that you will make their acquaintance at your earliest possible convenience. I desire, next, that you will invite them to your house on some occasion, presumably in the afternoon, when you can also ask my nephew, Derek Pruyn, and Lucilla van Tromp, my niece, to meet them.

"I didn't mean to speak slightingly," she hastened to say. "There were plenty of nice people in Paris whom I didn't know." "And plenty, I imagine, who thought you ought to have known them. Mrs.
