There was a general move towards the door. "Good-bye" Magda's slim hand lay for a moment in Quarrington's. "I I'm sorry you're going away, Saint Michel." Only Michael heard the last two words, uttered in that trainante, slightly husky voice that held so much of music and appeal. He turned abruptly and made his way out of the room in the wake of Gillian and Lady Arabella.
Ignorant of the incidents that had occurred on the night of Lady Arabella's party, she was disposed to assign the soreness of spirit she discerned in her friend to the general happenings which had followed from the Raynham episode. And amongst these she gave a certain definite place to the abrupt withdrawal of Quarrington's friendship, and resented it. She felt curiously disappointed in the man.
Quarrington's wonderful creations are evidently not entirely the fruit of the spirit, since we understand that his staple breakfast dish consists of a couple of underdone cutlets so lightly cooked, in fact, as to be almost raw. I'm glad I've learned that," pursued Magda earnestly. "It seems to me an important thing for a wife to know. Don't you think so, Gillian?" Gillian shouted with delight.
It was as though she were listening to an echo of Quarrington's own words. "And you sacrificed yourself," continued Davilof. "Sacrificed your pride crushed it down for the sake of Mrs. Grey and little Coppertop. Mademoiselle" he bowed gravely "I kiss your hands. And see, I too, I can be generous. I release you from your promise. I do not claim that dance."
Then, dimly, as though from a great way off, she heard Antoine's voice again: "I'm glad Quarrington's married. He was the man who saved you in the fog you remember? and I've always been afraid you might get to care for him." Magda was conscious of one thing and one thing only that somewhere, deep down inside her, everything had turned to ice.
"She is the perfect model for such a subject body and soul." Lady Arabella ignored the sneer. "Then why not ask her to sit for you?" Quarrington's brows drew together. "You know the answer to that, I think, Lady Arabella," he answered curtly. "Oh, you men! I've no patience with you!" exclaimed the old lady testily. "I shall ask her, then!"
