"If you will permit," said I, "I'll send an Aide to invite the Radnors and you to the Royal Box during the last act, and then, later, to be my guests at supper on the Hanging Garden." "You're very kind, old man," said he; "and as for old Radnor you will endanger his life he will just about explode with importance."
"It will be a longer wait than that," I said regretfully. "I have told Courtney I would invite the Radnors and him to take supper with me on the Hanging Garden, to-night." "Why don't you say 'take supper with us'?" "You mean it, Dehra?" I asked in surprise. "You have always refused, hitherto; and I have asked so often." She smiled. "Hitherto was different from now," she said.
"You're very wise," the Princess laughed. Lady Helen shook her head. "You see, I've known Major Dalberg a long time," she said. "Oh! then you had met before the night of the Ball?" I looked at Dehra wonderingly. Had she forgotten that I myself had told her, on the terrace, how long I had known the Radnors. "We were old dinner and cotillon partners in Washington," Lady Helen explained.
"Come around to-night to the Royal Box at the Opera and get into the glare, a bit," I said. "I am to take the King's place and escort the Princess." "Is that a command?" he asked. "Hang it all, Courtney " I exclaimed. "Because, if it isn't," he went on, "I shall have to decline. I'm dining with the Radnors and going on to the Opera with them."
And do you take a good look at them yourself; it may be well for you to know their faces." "What a satisfactory Aide," said Dehra. "His eyes didn't even waver toward that other box." "Not only that," I answered; "but, when Moore does do his looking, those in that box won't know it, you may be sure." Then the bells rang for the last act and the Radnors and Courtney were announced.
