"She was the Reverend Mother, the Mother-Superior of the Convent where I lived at Gueldersdorp." "Where is she now?" "She is with God." "With " Lessie is oddly nonplussed by the calm, direct answer. People who talk in that strangely familiar way of of subjects that properly belong to parsons are rare in her world. She hastens to put her next question.
As in the most recent case of that taking but extremely terrible little person with the toothy, photographic smile, Miss Lessie Lavigne of the Jollity Theatre, the affair with whom might be counted, it was to be hoped, as the last furrow of a heavy sowing of wild oats.

'With all her moral laxities " "Miss Lessie Lavigne is a generous, kindly, charitable young woman," goes on Julius. "And the Holiday Home has benefited largely by her purse.
Rough on him, and rough on the Foltlebarres, and a facer for Lessie ... and what price the girl? And I was the girl!... It was of me they were talking!..." Her lips writhed back from her white teeth. She winced and shuddered. "Oh! can't you see me sitting and listening, and every word vitriol, burning to the bone?"
Lessie jumps in her buckled Louis Quinze shoes, wheels, and confronts her newly-discovered enemy with glaring eyes. "Go home ... lie down!" she shrieks, so shrilly that the sleeping cherub awakens, and adds her frightened roars to the clamour that scares the gulls.
She would almost give the ruby buttons out of her ears to see it wince and quiver, and crimson into angry blushes. And yet Lessie is rather amiable than otherwise in her attitude towards other women. True, she has never before met one who had the insolence to pity her to her face.

"My professional name, as I have had the honour and pleasure of explaining to you, is Lessie Lavigne, but in private" the dignity of the speaker's tone is marred by its extreme huffiness "in private I am Lady Beauvayse." As Lynette looks in the painted, angry, piquante face she is more than ever conscious of that feeling of antagonism.
