"Artists are always barbarians," declared Lady Fulkeward enthusiastically.
"What a delightful creature she is!" said Lady Fulkeward, settling her "Duchess of Gainsborough" hat on her powdered wig more becomingly and smiling up in the face of Ross Courtney, who happened to be standing close by.

Courtney laughed outright, and began to think there was some fun in Lady Fulkeward. "By Jove! Did you tell her that?" "I should think I did! Oh, I know a thing or two about the Chetwynd Lyles, but I keep my mouth shut till it suits me to open it. I said I was going, and then, of course, she said she would." "Naturally."
