Aileen's red-gold head, and pink cheeks, and swimming eyes, her body swathed in silks and rich laces; and Lynde, erect, his shirt bosom snowy white, his face dark, almost coppery, his eyes and hair black they were indeed a strikingly assorted pair. "What's this? What's this?" asked Grier, coming up. "Who's plunging? You, Mrs. Cowperwood?" "Not plunging," replied Lynde, indifferently.
There were small carefully powdered lines at the tails of Aileen's eyes and at the corners of her mouth. At the same time she seemed preternaturally gay, kittenish, spoiled. With her were two men one a well-known actor, sinisterly handsome, a man with a brutal, unclean reputation, the other a young social pretender both unknown to Berenice.
Aileen's smile grew wonderfully tender, almost tremulous as she continued to lean above her work. Mrs. Champney looking up suddenly caught it and, in part, interpreted it. It angered her both unreasonably and unaccountably. This girl must be taught her place. She aspiring to Champney Googe! She handed her back the work.
It'll be time enough to talk about anything else when you're a free man. More than that I'll not promise."

What would the poor gell's life have been worth married to a man that's in for seven years!
Beverly's cheeks were as red as Aileen's, and her eyes snapping as menacingly as Sally's by the time she had come to the end of her very deliberately uttered speech, though she had not moved a hair's breadth upon her bench, nor had she changed her position.
Googe's friends had told her the truth of the affair at the sheepfold, when it was found that her unanswered suspicions were liable to unsettle her reason. Could she know of that message? Could any one? The mere presence in the house of this suffering woman set Aileen's every nerve tingling with sickening despair.
Aileen put down her work and looked across to her interrogator. "I was only smiling at my thoughts." "Will you be so good as to state what they are? They may prove decidedly interesting to me at this juncture," she added emphatically. Aileen's look of amusement changed swiftly to one of surprise.

Moreover, she had never been out quite alone at night, except to run down the avenue and across the street to Aileen's.
"It's bribes, Miss Baylis," said poor Electra, covered with confusion and blushes. "Exactly. The greatest simpleton would understand that. Are you more familiar with bricks than bribes?" It was a cruel thrust under the circumstances, and Miss Baylis had the grace to blush at the look of scorn which darted from Beverly's eyes straight into her own and the curl which Aileen's lips held.
