'M. le marquis is not in London? said Rosamund, disregarding the dumb imprecation she saw on Beauchamp's features. 'No, madame, my husband is not in London, Renee rejoined collectedly.
Whether it gave him more confidence, or his attention was no longer diverted, he went on more collectedly and cheerfully, and with no trace of his previous desperation in his manner.
