The gentlemen had gone into the drnwlnr room during her abeeneo, and as soon as she entered, Elaine saw the marquis' eyes looking at her with a lover's fond 'rynestfoning.

"No, no," replied Lacly I3lanche languidly, as if the matter were a nuisance. "She wants you to meet her at the bridge—there is a bridge, isn't there ?" "Yes, yes," said Elaine quickly.
