There he stood when, having been led down corridors of ivory and through shining anterooms, Mrs. Hastings and Olivia and Antoinette appeared on the threshold of the chamber, followed by Mr. Frothingham.
Frothingham is not here this evening! 'I really don't know why, replied the hostess, casting her eyes round the room. 'I quite expected him. But he has been dreadfully busy the last few weeks. And people do worry him so. Somebody called whilst we were at dinner, and refused to believe that Mr. Frothingham was not at home, and made quite a disturbance at the door so they told me afterwards.

She searched his face, as if to discern the feeling with which he regarded her, and her timid smile of reassurance did not lack its pathos. 'Mr. Rolfe, it seems years since I saw you.
