But she was not attending herself, and when sewing time came she showed what she had been thinking about. "What were you doing in Aunt Lavvy's room this morning?" She looked up sharply over the socks piled before her for darning. "Only talking." "Was Aunt Lavvy talking to you about her opinions?" "No, Mamma." "Has she ever talked to you?" "Of course not. She wouldn't if she promised not to.

"I promised, too.
"It was you who made Mamma cry, not Aunt Lavvy. It always frightens her when you shout at people. You know Aunt Lavvy's a perfect saint, besides being lots cleverer than anybody in this house, except Mark. You get her by herself when she's tired out with Aunt Charlotte. You insult her religion. You say the beastliest things you can think of "

Lord Bertram, a slim, aristocratic young man, raised his hat, and glanced with some interest at the other man. "The Mr. Kingston Brooks of the East End? Lavvy's friend?" he asked, politely. Brooks smiled. "I am afraid," he said, "that I am the person who is being exposed isn't that the word? I warn you, Lady Sybil, that I am a questionable character." "I will take the risk," she answered, gaily.
