Lydia began pacing the length of a beautiful Kermanshah rug a pale, delicate marvel of rose and green on a ground of ivory lovely, but doomed to fade sooner than the pretty woman who trod it with restless, silk-shod feet. Mortimer had not responded to her last question. She said presently: "You have never told me how you intend to make him pay you back."
She had begun to move toward the cliffs, he fell into step beside her; they spoke little, a word now and then. The perfume of the mounting sea saturated the night with wild fragrance; dew lay heavy on the lawns; she lifted her skirts enough to clear the grass, heedless that her silk-shod feet were now soaking.
Dorothy, lying almost flat in a wicker chair, with her small silk-shod ankles crossed, was lazily arguing some question of golf scores. She introduced the new-comers, and as Bert, somewhat more at home in his cousin's house than his wife was, fell into conversation with the middle-aged man nearest him, Dorothy dutifully addressed herself to Nancy.
The other half she sat in a wooden "Dutch" rocking-chair by a window overlooking the garden. Her silk-shod feet rested neatly side by side on a carpet-covered hassock, her back against a gay tapestried cushion. Near her purred big Jim, a maltese rumoured to weigh fifteen pounds. Above her twittered a canary. And the interior of the house itself was in keeping.
Then he looked up at her, but she had stretched her slim silk-shod feet to the fender, and her head was bent aside, so that he could see only the curve of the cheek and the little close-set ear under its ruddy mass of gold. "Who was there?" she asked, too, carelessly. For a moment he did not speak; under his bronzed cheek the flat muscles stirred.
