She took her color schemes from paintings, old and new, from jewels, landscapes.
As none of the party cared for the first except himself, he went there alone, and felt fully repaid for the effort. Great was his joy at finding "a purely Indian legislative body" and assisting at their deliberations, his lorgnon glued now to one chief and now to another.
There was still to come that lowering interview with his father; and he could not look towards it satisfactorily until he had the assurance of the actual documents that he was safe. Miss Rowly was, in her own way, reading his mind in his face. Her lorgnon seemed to follow his every expression like a searchlight.
As he approached the hostess she looked steadily at him through her lorgnon, and then, turning to a companion, said with a drawl: "Isn't it horrid, my dear!

Esther touched her companion's arm. "That was Lady Clifford who went into that shop," she said. Miss Paull dropped her tortoiseshell lorgnon. "Was it? I didn't notice. Where? What shop?"
