I shouldn't like to think of poor Regina's spending the rest of her life in some shabby foreign watering-place for bankrupts." Archer said nothing. It seemed to him so natural however tragic that money ill-gotten should be cruelly expiated, that his mind, hardly lingering over Mrs. Beaufort's doom, wandered back to closer questions.
I am very fond of him, you know, and we have not seen each other for at least two months. I shall be very glad to see him." The colour was sinking in Regina's face, and her eyelids were almost closed. "You are the master," she said quietly enough. "You will do as you will." He was surprised, and he felt a little resentment at her tone.
For one instant Regina's face darkened, her brows straightened themselves, and her lip curled. She remembered how, only two days ago, in the very next room, Marcello had insisted that she should he his wife.
