Amaryllis again did not question him; she felt he knew best. "She has been most successful here, and at the Bridgeborough ball she amused herself with a German officer, and left the other women's men alone. He was brought by the party from Broomgrove and was most empresse; he got introduced to her at once just after we came in. I expect they will bring him to-night.
Get out and leave her, to catch his connection to Bath, or sacrifice that and see her safely to her destination and perhaps hire a motor from Bridgeborough? This latter was his strong desire and also seemed the only chivalrous thing to do when she still looked so pale, but "Here we are almost at Frome," he said. Her eyes rounded with concern. It would be horrid to be alone.
The guests had all arrived in time for the ball at Bridgeborough Castle on the twenty-third of July and had assisted next day at the garden party, and then a large dinner at Ardayre, and now on the last night of their stay Amaryllis' own ball was to take place. All the other big country houses round were filled also, and nothing could have been gayer or more splendidly done than the whole thing.
Amaryllis had been to Harietta's dinners and dances, and now the Boleskis had been asked down to Ardayre in return for the three days at the end of the month, when the coming of age of the young Marquis of Bridgeborough would give occasion for great rejoicings, and Amaryllis herself would give a ball.
She was relieved or she thought it was merely relief, which made a sudden lifting in her heart! "How kind of you. I do feel as if I did not like the thought of being by myself, it is so stupid of me But you can't hire a motor from Bridgeborough which would get you to Bath before dark! They are wretched things there.
She had not been able to have a word with Stepan, who had been far from her at the banquet before the ball. She was torn with jealousy of Amaryllis; and the advent of Hans, when she would have wished to have been free to re-grab Verisschenzko, was most unfortunate. It had not been altogether pleasant, his turning up at Bridgeborough, but at any rate that one evening was quite enough!
