First her glance had been caught by the hair hanging to the little hips extraordinary hair in which Andrews herself had a pride. Then she had seen the slender, exquisitely modeled legs, and the dancing sway of the small body.
"It's a little too complicated for me to take in all at once, I confess and, if you won't think me rude, Celia, I think I'll be getting along towards Knightsbridge." Mrs. Milvain rose at once.
