The lieutenant stared at the house.
As a matter of fact, he had no particular wish to appear in the quality of a guest that evening. He had other plans. At ten o'clock a long line of carriages and automobiles began to arrive in the gardens of the Palace. Innumerable electric lights shone out along the drive-way and from the windows.
