EXHIBITS ROSE'S GENERALSHIP; EVAN'S PERFORMANCE ON THE.
SECOND FIDDLE; AND THE WRETCHEDNESS OF THE COUNTESS We left Rose and Evan on their way to Lady Jocelyn.

At the library-door Rose turned to him, and with her chin archly lifted sideways, said: 'I know what you feel; you feel foolish.' Now the sense of honour, and of the necessity of acting the part it imposes on him, may be very strong in a young man; but certainly, as a rule, the sense of ridicule is more poignant, and Evan was suffering horrid pangs.

We none of us like to play second fiddle.

To play second fiddle to a young woman is an abomination to us all.
