Robin felt he ought to wear a kilt and plaid and that an eagle's feather ought to be standing up from a chieftain's bonnet on the fair hair which would have waved if it had been allowed length enough. He was scarcely two yards from her now and suddenly almost as if he had been called he turned his eyes away from Sara Studleigh who was the little thing in Christmas tree scarlet.
I can see they are quite excited in their quiet way." As they neared the entrance to the ball room she paused a moment with a new kind of impish smile. "Every girl in the room is absolutely shaky with thrills at this particular moment," she said. "And every man feels himself bristling a little. The very best looking boy in all England is dancing with Sara Studleigh.
Lady Lothwell acting for the Duchess was very kind to him finding him another partner as soon as a new dance began this time her own daughter, Lady Kathryn. Even while he had been tangoing with Sara Studleigh he had seen the girl with the eyelashes, whirling about with someone, and when he began his dance with Kathryn, he caught a glimpse of her at the other end of the room.
Lord Coombe has just come in and is talking it over with grandmamma." As they neared the entrance to the ballroom she paused with a new kind of impish smile. "The very best looking boy in all England," she said, "is dancing with Sara Studleigh. He dropped in by chance to call and grandmamma made him stay. His name is Donal Muir. He is Lord Coombe's heir. Here he comes. Look!"
But "perhaps it WAS the eyelashes" was passing through Donal's mind. Very noticeable eyelashes were rather arresting. "I knew you saw her," said Sara Studleigh, "because I have happened to be near two or three people this evening when they caught their first sight of her." "What happens to them?" asked Donal Muir.
It was true she was of a startling prettiness and there was something . Yes, there was SOMETHING which drew the eye and . He did not know what it was. It had actually given him a sort of electric shock. He laughed at himself a little and then his open brow looked puzzled for a moment. "You saw Miss Lawless," said Sara Studleigh who was at the moment dancing prettily with him.
"There's a conservatory with marble seats and corners and a fountain going. Will you let me take you there when we stop dancing? I want to apologize to you." The eyelashes lifted themselves and made round her eyes the big soft shadow of which Sara Studleigh had spoken. A strong and healthy valvular organ in his breast lifted itself curiously at the same time. "To apologize?"
"I have eyelashes so have you," looking down at hers with a very taking expression. Hers were in fact nice ones. "But ours are not two inches long and they don't make a big soft circle round our eyes when we look at anyone." "Please look up and let me see," said Donal. "When I asked you to dance with me I thought " What a "way" he had, Sara Studleigh was thinking.
