"Wasn't that the captain with the red face and coloured handkerchief? He seemed to me to follow Bellairs's game with the most thrilling interest," objected Mr. Morgan. "Perfectly true," said I. "Trent is deeply interested; he very likely knew Bellairs, and he certainly knew what he was there for; but I can put my hand in the fire that Bellairs didn't know Trent."
Charlie started off, and Sir Roger strolled along by Miss Bellairs's side. Presently he said: "Still anxious to get to Paris?" "Why shouldn't I be?" she asked quickly. "I thought perhaps the charms of Avignon would have decided you to linger. Haven't you been tempted?" Dora glanced at him, but his face betrayed no secondary meaning. "Tempted?
Dora's parasol swept down again swiftly, but Charlie was still looking at the cigarette and he did not notice its descent, nor could he see that Miss Bellairs's cheek was no longer sallow.
