'Miss Toft, let me introduce you to Madame Lopez. He turned to the newcomer. 'Keep her calm for me, bright star, will you?

'Where did he pick you up, my dear? the decayed diva inquired maternally. Clarice briefly explained.
Ludovico, leaving his companion for an instant in the street, sprang up the stairs to make inquiry; and in the next minute returned looking very much vexed and annoyed, with the information that nothing had been seen or heard of the Diva since she left the house in his company at an early hour that morning.

The pattern was of little bunches of pink roses peeping out through trellis work, and it was these which she had just begun to cut out. Though Tilling was noted for the ingenuity with which its more fashionable ladies devised novel and quaint effects in their dress in an economical manner, Diva felt sure, ransack her memory though she might, that nobody had thought of this before.

It only remained to verify her conclusion, and, if possible, expose it with every circumstance of public ignominy.
