Nobody's back was to her, except Mr. Vane's. Every eye but his was spellbound upon her. Mrs. Woffington withdrew her hand, as if a scorpion had touched her.
"Hold on," said Hilary, "I haven't any use for a doctor I won't see one. I know what the trouble is, and I'm all right." Victoria became aware for the first time that Hilary Vane's housekeeper had not moved; that Euphrasia Cotton was still staring at her in a most disconcerting manner, and was paying no attention whatever to Hilary.
