She ran out and brought them back before he could stop her again. 'Who is this Mrs Raymond? he then asked. 'Oh, she's a very nice woman a widow. Really quite suitable in age to Lord Selsey. Not young. She's not a bit pretty and not in his set at all. He took the most violent fancy to her at first sight, it seems. She had vowed never to marry again, but he persuaded her.
Evidently Lord Selsey had not been able if indeed he had tried to persuade her to take much trouble about her appearance, but he had somehow succeeded in making her carelessness seem picturesque.
'Of course she's older than I am, but it doesn't make the slightest difference. She's been a widow ever since she was twenty. She's very hard up, and she doesn't care. She's refused me, but I want to make her come round.... No, she isn't pretty, not very. Lord Selsey put his old coins away, and leant back in his chair. 'I should like to see her, he said thoughtfully.

The only thing he felt clearly, vividly, and definitely was a furious resentment against Lord Selsey. 'Do you love me, Cecil? Will you always love me? Are you happy? Ashamed of his strange, horrible mood of black jealousy, Cecil turned to his wife. Accounts 'How about your play, Bruce? Aren't you going to work at it this evening? 'Why no; not just at present. I'm not in the mood.
Sir Charles stared in amazement. 'Eugenia! Why she's the best creature in the world utterly incapable of I'm perfectly certain she cares for nobody in the world but Selsey. Besides, to regard her as a rival of yours at all is grotesque, child. 'Ah, yes; you say that because you regard me almost as your daughter, and you think I'm pretty and younger, and so on. But that's not everything.
