"Which?" drawled Vi, her mouth almost on his, her wide, gray eyes so near that he closed his to save himself from blindness. "Better make it 'go," said Lewis, and grinned. "You've saved yourself," said Vi, with a laugh. "If you hadn't grinned, I'd have kissed you." Lewis went to the Ruttle-Marter ball determined to be gay. He searched for Vi, but did not find her.
Conventional, dogged clapping and shouts of "Bis! Bis!" were relied on to bring the curtain up again, and relied on in vain. Once more Mrs. Ruttle-Marter was surrounded and beseeched to use her best efforts. As she acceded, a servant handed Lewis a scribbled note. "Come and take me out of this. Vi," he read. He slipped out behind the servant. In the cab they were silent for a long time.
"Have you got your invitation for the Ruttle-Marter fancy-dress ball next week?" she asked, stifling a yawn. "No," said Lewis; "don't know 'em." "That doesn't matter," said Vi. "I'll see that you get a card to-morrow. I'd like you to come. Nobody is supposed to know it, but I'm going to dance. Will you come?" "Oh, yes," said Lewis, rising; "I'll come. I've been a bit lonely since dad went away."
So early did power lead the long-suffering Mrs. Ruttle-Marter to lap at revenge! "Well, tell us the name of her dance, anyway," said a tall, soldierly gray-head that was feeling something for the first time in twenty years. "Do hurry! She's going to begin." "I can do that," said Mrs. Ruttle-Marter. "Her dance is called 'Love is blind." "Love is blind," repeated Lewis to Lady Derl.
The woman was apparently blindfolded with chiffon. The foamy bandage proved an efficient mask. Chiffon and draperies were of that color known to connoisseurs as cuisse de nymphe. A buzz of interested questioning swept over the company. Mrs. Ruttle-Marter, who had been quite abandoned for over an hour, suddenly found herself the center of a curious and eager group. "Who is she?" "What is she?"
