There was no one within. In the colonnade beyond, a few nobles stood talking carelessly together, waiting for their evening meal to be served them in a brightly illuminated hall, of which the doors stood wide open to admit the cool air of the coming night. The magnificently-arrayed courtiers made a low obeisance and then stood in astonishment as the queen went by.
A magnificently-arrayed woman in the row in front, somewhat to the right, leaned back and towards him, and behind her fan said: "You're the only manager here, Mr. Machin! How alive and alert you are!" Her voice seemed to be charged with a hidden meaning. "D'you think so?" said Edward Henry. He had no idea who she might be.
An orange telegram came travelling from hand to hand along that row of stalls, and ultimately, after skipping a few persons, reached the magnificently-arrayed woman, who read it, and then passed it to Edward Henry. "Splendid!" she exclaimed. "Splendid!" Edward Henry read: "Released. Isabel." "What does it mean?" "It's from Isabel Joy at Marseilles." "Really!"
