But do you think the Countess is angry? She is so beautiful." "Marvellous!" exclaimed the cynic, raising his eyebrows. "Dear Lady Chetwold, is it possible that I hear one beautiful woman praise another's looks?" The little lady flushed. "It would be a greater marvel still if you men gave us credit for just a little generosity. But, tell me Mr. Shelton, where is Adrien Leroy?"
Leroy," said Lady Chetwold, as they passed, "can you tell me who this latest arrival is?" "I have not seen her," said Adrien rather wearily; his eyes were bent on Lady Constance, who had left him and was now dancing with Lord Standon. "Oh, there she is!" exclaimed his voluble little companion. "Such a magnificent Cleopatra, isn't she?"
"I shall be quite afraid of you in the future I'd no idea you were so cynical." "I could never be cynical with you," he said gallantly. "By the way, have you seen Prince Pfowsky to-night?" "Yes," said Lady Chetwold, "I am engaged to him for the next dance if he remembers it. He is always so forgetful." "'Put not your trust in princes," quoted Shelton.
Yet, as her eyes met the steady regard of Adrien's, she looked nervously round as if to make her escape. Lady Chetwold felt Adrien give a slight start, and looking up, she saw that his lips had grown stern, and even through the mask detected the angry gleam in his eyes. "Do you know her?" she whispered. "Yes!" he said. "But it would be a breach of confidence to betray her, Lady Chetwold."
Lady Chetwold followed the direction of his gaze and saw Adrien Leroy advancing up the rose-decked room. As usual, his appearance created something like a stir, for he was popular with men and women alike, and no smart gathering seemed quite complete without him.
