"You have forgiven me for my insistence this morning ?" she asked.

"It was hard for me to believe that you were not indeed the person for whom I mistook you." "Other people have spoken to me of the likeness," Dominey replied.

"It is a matter of regret to me that I can claim to be no more than a simple Norfolk baronet." "Without any previous experience of European Courts ?" "Without any at all."

"You are not going to bury yourself in Norfolk, Sir Everard ?" the Princess Terniloff enquired.
"Norfolk is very near London these days," Dominey replied, "and I have experienced more than my share of solitude during the last few years.

I hope to spend a portion of my time here." "You must dine with us one night," the Princess insisted, "and tell us about Africa.

My husband would be so interested." "You are very kind." Stephanie rose slowly to her feet, leaned gracefully over and kissed her hostess on both cheeks, and submitted her hand to the Prince, who raised it to his lips.
