The young lady in the bureau said she would inquire, and Ann Veronica, while she affected to read the appeal on a hospital collecting-box upon the bureau counter, had a disagreeable sense of being surveyed from behind by a small, whiskered gentleman in a frock-coat, who came out of the inner office and into the hall among a number of equally observant green porters to look at her and her bags. 155 The ringing doorbell jarred her from her stupor. ‘Pen and paper, do you have them?’ ‘Danged if I have,’ came the truculent response. ‘Your wife?’ ‘My wife,’ he repeated, rising also, his smile mocking her. To lose was death, quickly and mercilessly delivered. I wrenched this off, and in an envelope addressed to me in faded ink, I found the locket and the pearls. The other kicked over the traces a bit, made rather a hit with her singing at some of those French places, and went the pace in a mild, ladylike sort of way. Just now my best ones are all taken. The curtain came festooning slowly down, the music ceased, the lights in the auditorium glowed out, and Ann Veronica woke out of her confused dream of involuntary and commanding love in a glory of sound and colors to discover that Ramage was sitting close beside her with one hand resting lightly on her waist. He knew very well that his muscles were flabby, and his nerve by no means what it should be.
