"If you like. Are you fond of singing!" "The question was strictly in bad taste," says Lady Rodney again. "No well-bred man would ask it. I can hardly believe I know him. He must have been some impossible person." "Just now," returns she, with some hesitation, and a rich accession of coloring, that renders her even prettier than she was a moment since.
