The feeling was a novel one, and, in afterwards recalling it, he could smile rather contemptuously, If we are enraptured with one particular flower, shall we necessarily despise another, whose beauty and perfume happen to be of quite a different kind?
Mr.Enderby appeared, followed by another gentleman.

Waymark noticed an unpleasant heat in the hand held out to him; there was a flush in Paul's cheeks, too, and his eyes were very bright.

He greeted the visitor with somewhat excessive warmth, then turned and introduced his companion, by the name of Mr.Rudge.
Waymark observed that this gentleman and his hostess were on terms of lively intimacy.

They talked much throughout the evening.
During the three months that followed, Waymark's intercourse with the Enderbys was pretty frequent.

Mrs.Enderby asked few questions about him, and Maud was silent after she had explained Waymark's position, so far as she was acquainted with it, and how she had come to know him.
