Saton Captain Vandermere. I don't know whether you remember him." The two men exchanged the briefest of greetings. Saton's was civil enough. Vandermere's was morose, almost discourteous. "Let me persuade you to change your mind," Saton said, speaking slowly, and with his eyes fixed upon Lois. "The Comtesse would be so disappointed if she knew that you had passed this way and had not entered."
He passed out, amidst a silence which seemed a little curious when one considered the emotions which he left behind. Lois' pale face seemed all aglow with a sort of desperate thankfulness. Already she was in Vandermere's arms. And then the silence was broken by a woman's sobbing. They all turned towards her.
This accident occasioned him to take a solemn oath that he would never take another leap upon the stage; nor did he violate his oath, for when he afterwards played Harlequin another actor of his size, and of considerable activity was equipped with the parti-coloured habit, and when a leap was necessary Vandermere passed off on one side of the stage as Dawson Vandermere's understudy entered at the other, and undertook it.
In the hall several people were standing, and amongst them Bertrand Saton! Vandermere's face was dark as a thundercloud when his eyes fell upon the young man carefully, almost foppishly dressed, standing upon the hearthrug in front of the open fire. Rochester was there with Pauline, and Lady Mary was seated behind the tea-tray. There was a little chorus as the two entered.
