"It was some joke, of course?" goes on Violet, not having received any answer to her first question. "What do you mean, Geoffrey?" demands his mother, with suppressed indignation. "Yes, of course," she says, dejectedly. A cloud seems to have fallen upon her happy hour. "When did you hear that—that last singer?" she asks, in a subdued voice. "Well, I rather think he has Violet on his mind. Did you ever see anything so spooney as they looked all through dinner yesterday and luncheon to-day? I didn't think it was in Violet.".
