"You were the cause of what happened at Barbazon's last night," he smiled evilly "you are egging on the roughs to break up the Orange funeral to-day; and there is all the rest you know so well." "What is the rest I know so well?" He looked closely at her, his long, mongrel eyes half-closing with covert scrutiny. "Whatever it is, it is all bad and it is all yours."

But all the time she was not unaware of what was passing, and saw the painter's wife studying her with looks between contempt and envy.
I know well enough that I shall never get the memory of you out of my brain; your face will haunt me till I die!"
