Later in the evening she relented towards him, salving her disappointment with the flattery of his jealousy.

She did not, however, relinquish on that account her intention to make Stephen Drake's acquaintance.

She merely postponed it, trusting that the tides of accident would drift them together, as indeed they did, though after a longer delay than she had anticipated.
The occasion of their meeting was provided by the visit of a French actress to one of the London theatres.

Drake and Conway edged into their stalls just before the curtain rose on a performance of _Frou-Frou_.
During the first act the theatre gradually filled, and when the lights were turned up at its close only one box was empty.

It was upon the first tier next to the stage.
