"How dull England will seem to you when you go back to it!" he said to her, after a moment. His tone had an under-note of bitterness which Elizabeth uncomfortably recognised. "Oh! I have a way of liking what I must like," she said, hurriedly. "Just now, certainly, I am in love with deserts flat or mountainous tempered by a private car." He laughed perfunctorily.
A silence fell between them. Lashmar's amorous countenance had an under-note of thoughtfulness; Iris, smiling blissfully, none the less reflected. "What are you thinking of?" he asked, gently. "Only how happy I am. I haven't the slightest fear. I know you have great things before you. Of course we must make use of our friends. May I write to Mrs. Toplady, and tell her?"
Why couldn't you have seen him here?" She hesitated. "Because he wanted to see me alone." "Did he, indeed? And may I ask if you gratify all his wishes with equal alacrity?" "I don't know that he has any others where I am concerned." She paused again and then continued, in a lower voice that somehow had an under-note of warning. "He wished to bid me good-by. He's going away."
And the groups had always a golden background, and over them always the golden glow from the footlights cast a warm radiance that again was strengthened by the golden reflections from the wall of yellow stone, so that the whole symphony in colour had for its under-note a mellow splendour of golden tones.

The trampling of feet and the shuffling of packed bodies made a dull under-note. Shouts arose from many quarters. "Go on!" "Get him!" "Now, boys!"
