Next I signed the cheque for three of those wonders with my head so in the clouds I didn't know what I was doing, but I came to with a jolt when the prettiest girl began to get me into that black silk bag I had worn down to the West End. I must have shrunk the whole remaining pounds I had felt obliged to lose for Alfred and Ruth Clinton, from the horror I felt when I looked at myself. The girl was really sympathetic and said with a smile that was true kindness: "Shall I call a taxi for madame and have it take her to Klein's? They have wonderful gowns by Rene all ready to be fitted at short notice. Really, madame's figure is such that it commands a perfect costume now." "I, massa! Ole Dido she do nuffin. Massa Maurice he die Voodoo! Oh, yes." "Oh, Patricia!" she cried in Patricia's ear, but the words died into the tempest..

"How do you know that?" asked the major, all on the alert. "Now you are making a mystery out of a plain, common-sense question," he said, irritably. "We all know that Maurice is in love," here he raised his eyes suddenly, and looked keenly at his friend, "with Lady Meg Brance." Patricia started as the grotesque words sank deep. "And you, Mr. Sarby, I can tell from your attitude, from your look; you love Miss Dallas.".
