"Where did you get to know Mr.Falloden ?" The colour ran up inconveniently in Connie's cheeks.
"I told you," she said impatiently.

"No!--I suppose you weren't there.

I met him on the Riviera.

He came out for the Christmas holidays.

He was in the villa next to us, and we saw him every day." "How you must have hated him!" said Nora, with energy, her hands round her knees, her dark brows frowning.
Constance laughed again, but rather angrily.
"Why should I hate him, please?
He's extraordinarily clever--" "Yes, but such a snob!" said Nora, setting her white teeth.
