For an instant the violet eyes, with their vague wistfulness, their mute appeal, looked straight into Corinna's; and in that instant an inscrutable expression quivered in Alice Rokeby's face, as if a wan light had flickered up and died down in an empty room. "The heat is too much for you," said Corinna gently. "It is like summer." "Yes, I have never known so early a spring.
