where Angela Wildhay was sitting next to
a young man with black hair, black, thin
moustache, a pale complexion, and light hazel
eyes.
His glance unconscious, but Lady Mar
garet noticed it, and a look of interest flashed
into her face, though, wisely, she made no

sententiously.
Fortunately, he is-cr rather woman is, or
else this earth wouldn't be the place-the

He smiled, and Lady Margaret smiled back
at him.
