She took off her hat and swiftly tidied herself, yet the relief she felt at Lise's absence was modified by a sudden, vehement protest against sordidness. Why should she not live by herself amidst clean and tidy surroundings?
The conversation was general and animated, thanks to Princess Lise's voice and little downy lip that lifted over her white teeth.
Through Lise's degrading act she had arrived at the conclusion that all adventure and consequent suffering had to do with Man a conviction peculiarly maddening to such temperaments as Janet's. Therefore she interpreted her suffering in terms of Ditmar, she had looked forward to tormenting him again, and by departing he had deliberately balked and cheated her.
