Nevertheless, in spite of his protest, David took great care to behave with the utmost frigidity to Patricia whenever the smiling waiter made his appearance, and instead lavished his care on Judith, who took on airs of importance that were delightful to behold. "Don't talk like this. You are at my table. There is a stranger" (here he bowed ceremoniously to Etwald) "or shall I say a friend, present!" "Oh, it is too absurd!" said Maurice, resuming his seat..

For the first time Mona learns she is not like this well-regulated young woman. She falls lamentably short of such excellence.
