These were allowed, and Marjorie blissfully kept on nibbling them, while Mr. Maynard sipped his coffee. In the afternoon they went to a matinee. It was one of the gorgeous spectacular productions, founded upon an old fairy tale, and Marjorie was enraptured with the beautiful tableaux, the wonderful scenery, and the gay music. "Oh, Father," she said, "aren't we having the gorgeousest time!
Not that Daisy did not enter into the amusement of what was going forward; for perhaps nobody took so much real share in it. Even Mr. Stilton's operations interested her. But she was not engrossed at all. She was not different from her usual self. All the glory of the tableaux had not dazzled her, so far as Preston could see.
The ball at the theater, the Roman Veglioni, succeeded elaborate tableaux, the "Tartarus," of the ancients, and "Paradise Lost," of Milton, in which the "Krewe" impersonated Pluto and Proserpine, the fates, harpies and other characters of the representation.
"Gentlemen, I decide that, according to the rules of the game, Monsieur is entitled to play the hand." "Bravo!" exclaimed one or two of my friend's supporters. "C'est idiot!" growled the malcontents. "Messieurs, faites vos jeux!" cried the croupier. The stakes were laid, the banker looked around, estimating the comparative values of the two tableaux.
The young man spoke with a strength in the clear voice that could be so light and gay. "And tender, too. 'Thou layest Thine hand upon me," said Delight Goldthwaite. Sin Saxon was quiet; her own thought coming back upon her with a reflective force, and a thrill at her heart at Frank Scherman's words.

She went on her own rough independent lines, giving a romp one night, and not coming to the tableaux on another, and getting the Spanish Quartet without consultation on a third, and springing this dreadful Pentecostal party on them on a fourth. Olga clearly meant mischief: she wanted to set herself up as leader of Art and Culture in Riseholme. Her conduct admitted of no other explanation.
"I fancy it will be best for all concerned if we avoid tableaux. Still, I will go away if you see fit to send me " "I do see fit! Go!" Roberta Grand was staring at the speaker from the bottom of the steps. "Don't haggle with her, father," she cried venomously. "Bring her to time!" "You have met my daughter, Mrs. Braddock?" said Grand in his most suave manner.
"Oh, Imogen, please tell me," she burst forth one day, the day before the tableaux, when she was sitting with Imogen in the latter's room; "what is it that makes you so sad? Why are you so displeased with Jack? You haven't given him up, Imogen!" Imogen passed her hand softly over Mary's hair, recalling, as she did so, that the gesture was a favorite one with her father.
