Hitherto she had been obliged to read only those much-handled blase-looking books which went the round of the chorus. Conceive what that meant! Also she had brought with her a bottle of the scent that was only, so far as she knew, within reach of leading ladies. Like the cigarettes and the books, this was really for Tootles to use, but she borrowed a little from time to time.
Two or three of the bath-machines were in use, some were engaged for persons not yet arrived, and I thought myself lucky in securing one drawn by the handsomest horse of all. The others were dull, blasé-looking creatures compared to him; indeed, he was far too fine for a mere bathing-machine, and had a lovely cushiony back like the animals on which beautiful ladies pirouet in circuses.
He whispered in my ear, he leant to me, he behaved as an infatuated lover, and presently it seemed to me that my fellow-guests smiled here and there and looked significant. Lady Ardaragh talked more than ever to the blasé-looking young lord who was her neighbour and her colour was heightened.
Hemstead immediately joined her and asked, "Who is that blase-looking man upon whose arm Miss Marsden is leaning?" "And upon whom she is also smiling so enchantingly? He is the beau of the occasion, and she is the belle." "Do you know anything about him? I hope his face and manner do him injustice." "I fear they do not. I imagine he is even worse than he looks."
He saw none of the scowls nor heard the toe-taps; he went blithely along his bridgeless way. "I say, Brown, I saw your wife on the street yesterday, but she didn't see me," he observed to the blase-looking man in corduroys. "Ya-as," returned the other, calmly staring past him; "so she told me last night." The bore and his blissful smile passed on to the next group.
