Excerpt: ...surprised. "I beg your pardon," he said. "I hope you were not hurt." She looked at him scornfully without replying, and then walked to the mantel, where there was a small antique mirror of silver. "Thank you, not in the least." Her tone was no warmer than an arctic night. She gathered her hair, and began to twist it up. He followed and stood behind her with an air at once deprecatory and insinuating.

He looked at her again with perplexity in his glance, but with his face hardening. "You surely cannot mean that you have ceased to care for me just for a second of meaningless laughter?" She swept him a scornful courtesy. "You do these things better in your novels, Mr. Rangely, which shows what an advantage it is to have time to think speeches over. I wouldn't have my hero say a thing like that, if I were you. It would make him seem like a conceited cad." The insolence of her manner was such as no man could bear. Rangely crimsoned to the temples. He paced across the room, while she coolly seated herself in a great Venetian chair, and began to play with a little jade image.
