He watched Nell Gordon as she sat stroking the flowing fair tresses of Betty.,The curtain fell on the first act and the house rocked with the noise.

She saw that he was not a vineyard workman, his clothes were too fine. She did not see them in detail, the large checked trousers, the shiny gloves, and the big diamond, but she felt instinctively that one who could dress so was different from the men she knew.
