"Mrs. Ransome, I am in need of almost as much pity as yourself. I have been married just six days." She gave a cry, looked me wildly in the face, and then sank upon her knees, lifting up thanks to heaven.
Our one desire now was to be gone; but it was easier wished than accomplished, for there remained the dreary process of bargaining. Mme. de Mayenne had set her heart on a pearl bracelet, Mme. de Brie wanted a vinaigrette, a third lady a pair of shoe-buckles.
Not a look had passed between them yet: they were both too much absorbed in Gladys. She soon opened her eyes, and pushed away the vinaigrette I was holding to her. 'It is nothing, Ursula.
