 she wondered: REt he was studiouSIy studying q suit of Chinese armor that stood close by in niche of the wall.

 To his surprise Eve looked annoyed and HleSsington fresh coored face decpencd in tone. With slow, uncom fol table sens;ttion he was aware of having struck a wrong note
 There was a short unpleasant pause. Then. more by intuition than actual sight RleSsin"ton saw Eyes eyes turn from him to I.odcr. and with quick tact he saved the situation.
