Perhaps you have seen it?" "I have not, and I should like to see it very much." She was delighted with the suggestion. It would be a help to her, a consolation, to see so visible a token of Errington's wealth. "Curious fellow, Errington," resumed De Burgh. "I suppose he is about the only man who isn't spoiled by the most unbroken prosperity.
"Every one says his temper is diabolical." "It is," replied Diana, with conviction. "Still," broke in Errington's quiet voice, "I should have thought he would have found it somewhat difficult to be very angry with Miss Quentin." Diana fancied she detected the familiar flavour of irony in the cool tones. "On the contrary, he apparently found it perfectly simple," she retorted sharply.
Dessert was served, and as Thelma toyed with the fruit on her plate and sipped her glass of champagne, her face grew serious and absorbed, even sad, and she scarcely seemed to hear the merry chatter of tongues around her, till Errington's voice asking a question of her father roused her into swift attention.
I don't believe" regarding him severely "that you've got one at all. It was just an excuse." "It wasn't, honour bright. It's from Miss de Gervais she sent me round to see you expressly. You know, while Errington's away I call at her place for orders like the butcher's boy every morning. The boss asked me to look after her and make myself useful during his absence." "Well," said Diana impatiently.
"Anything to soothe her, poor soul!" she whispered, as she left Errington's side and advanced towards Lovisa till she was within reach of the old woman's hand.

Meanwhile, she had struck up a friendship with Errington's private secretary, a young man of the name of Jerry Leigh, who was a frequent visitor at Adrienne's house. Jerry was, in truth, the sort of person with whom it was impossible to be otherwise than friendly.
She was smiling broadly as she spoke, and, it was evident to Diana that to both these women Max Errington's word was law a law they obeyed, however, with the utmost cheerfulness. "But, of course, we are coming back again," pursued Miss de Gervais. "I think Crailing is a delightful little place, and I am going to regard Red Gables as a haven of refuge from the storms of professional life.
Froeken Thelma, I would never have believed it of you!" And he drew himself up with ponderous and sorrowful dignity. A burning blush had covered Thelma's face at the mention of Errington's name, but it soon faded, leaving her very pale.
