"This is better than I bargained for," he went on. "I came here to think the afternoon's events out, and I meet you. I had no idea you were out." "I felt that Bess wanted exercise," the girl answered evasively. Without asking herself why, Diane felt pleased at meeting this man. Their first encounter had been no ordinary one. From the beginning he seemed to link himself with her life.

Hortense, overwrought by fatigue and her desire to know what was happening, continually questioned Renine, who replied evasively, with his eyes turned to the esplanade, which they could see through the windows of the coffee-room. "Are you watching for those two?" asked Hortense. "Yes, the brother and sister."
I asked evasively. "No, monsieur; do you?" "I have met her." "Oh! Oh!" she exclaimed. Then she looked at me quickly. "I thought she received no visitors." I shrugged my shoulders.

"I am only a Masque the American may be a King."

But you were foolish, Percy, to think that you'd get them that way." "What other way of getting them is there?" he asked, sullenly. "I don't know," she said. "You should have waited."
He shook his head. "I have never been in London before to-day," he answered. "More fool you to come, then," she said, shortly. "You don't look like a Cockney. I guess you're a gentleman, aren't you run away from home or something?" "I have come to live in London," he said, evasively. "I have always wanted to." She shook her head. "You'd better have stopped away. You are young, and you look good.
"Can I see you alone?" he asked brusquely. "If there is any reason for privacy, certainly," I answered in surprise. "What do you wish to say?" "This is a matter strictly between us," evasively. "I prefer not to discuss it publicly here." I had a suspicion of treachery, yet was not willing to exhibit any reluctance. The fellow was no better man than I when it came to a struggle, and was unarmed.
"So-so," he answered. She looked at him searchingly as he approached her. "Why I don't believe that you have slept at all," she cried. "I didn't feel very sleepy," he replied evasively. "You sat up all night on guard!" she exclaimed. "You know you did."
