She then quitted the room, and rapidly descended the staircase.
Hugh took her as far as the entrance to the Metropole and then, after wishing her au revoir and promising to go with her to Nice if invited, he hastily retraced his steps to the Palmiers.

"I wish I had been with you, Grace, we might have stopped him." The boys shouted. "Such a chance!" crowed Roy, but Betty turned on them with flashing eyes. "Well, we might at least have tried," she cried hotly.
