"For his happiness with his English wife, Max and I have paid every day of our lives! . . . As soon as I was of age, I refused the State allowance granted me as a daughter of Boris Mazaroff, and left the Ruvanian Court. Since then I've lived in England as plain Miss Lermontof, and earned my own living. Not one penny of their tainted money will I touch!" fiercely. "But Max Max!" broke in Diana.
"At any rate, it has the advantage of being only quarter of an hour's walk from Grellingham Place. I've just come from there." And with that she relapsed into silence. Although Olga Lermontof had frequently accompanied Diana during her lessons with Baroni, the acquaintance between the two had made but small progress.
"I should like to hear you sing in those big rooms," acknowledged Bunty, a little wistfully. "When I give my recital you shall have a seat in the front row," Diana promised, as she picked up her gloves and music-case. A tap sounded at the door. "Are you ready?" inquired Olga Lermontof a voice from outside. Bunty opened the door. "Oh, come in, Miss Lermontof.
The bread-and-butter is always so thick like doorsteps! and the cake is very emphatically of the 'plain, home-made' variety." Olga nodded. "You look very comfortable here," she replied. "If you saw my tiny bandbox of a room on the fourth floor you'd realise what a sybarite you are." Diana wondered a little why Olga Lermontof should need to economise by having such a small room and one so high up.
Finally, with the idea of averting a quarrel between the disputants, she mentioned that the actress, accompanied by her chaperon, had been staying in the neighbourhood of her own home. "Mr. Errington was with them also," she added. "He usually is," commented Miss Lermontof disagreeably. "He's a remarkably fine pianist," said Diana. "Do you know him personally at all?"
Miss Lermontof nodded a brief greeting. "How d'you do? Yes, I've lived here for some time. But I didn't know that you were coming. I thought you had rooms somewhere?" "So I had. But I was obliged to give them up, and Signor Baroni suggested this instead." "Hope you'll like it," returned Miss Lermontof shortly.
