The carriage halted. "Good evening, my dear Olivo," said the Marchese.
Secure of herself, in the glad conciousness of success, she gazed down. There sat the illustrious Maximilian, still clapping his hands. Gratefully, yet with a passionate desire for fresh applause, the resolve to show him the very best which she could accomplish was strengthened. But the next moment the blood faded from her slightly rouged cheeks, for Lienhard was it possible, was it imaginable?
