That's the cook, isn't it? I never can remember servants' names. Well, did she condole with you about the concert, and think me a wretch for deserting you? I am afraid Miss Merivale will think so."

'Portrait of a gentleman of the sixteenth century. Very valuable, I daresay, Lady Merivale?" Lady Merivale, who looked upon Mr. Vermont as one of her ancestors would have regarded the Court jester, smiled indifferently. "It all depends on the point of view," she said.
