Sunk deep into the recesses of her fauteuil, Isaura seemed to listen quietly, till, when a pause came, she said in cold clear tones: "And Mr. Graham Vane he has refused your invitation?" "I am sorry to say he has he is so engaged in London." "I knew he had refused," said Isaura, with a low bitter laugh. "How? who told you?" "My own good sense told me.
The walls, whitened with stucco, were adorned with rare illuminated paintings set in gold frames, some leathern chairs called butacas, several side tables upon one of which stood a silver brazero filled with red cinders of charcoal these, with a fauteuil or two, and a mahogany couch of Anglo-American manufacture, completed the furniture of the apartment.
The next evening at six o'clock he was at the house of the Marquise. He found her in her boudoir, surrounded by all her regal luxury. She was half buried in a fauteuil in the chimney-corner, looking a little pale and fatigued. She received him with her usual coldness and self-possession. "Good-day," she said. "How are you?"

"Salaam, be seated," murmured Saidie, indicating a fauteuil near the one on which she sank herself.

"Do you know who I am?" she said at last in a stifled voice.
