"Ah, if you knew how many compliments I do pay you which you never hear! My entire life is a compliment to you," declared Mr.Rimmon.
"Not your entire life, Mr.Rimmon.You are like some other men.

You confound me with some one else; for I am sure I heard you saying the same thing five minutes ago to Louise Wentworth." "Impossible.

Then I must have confounded her with you," sighed Mr.
Rimmon, with such a look at Mrs.Lancaster out of his languishing eyes that she gave him a laughing tap with her fan.
"Go and practise that on a debutante.

I am an old married woman, remember." "Ah, me!" sighed the gentleman.

"'Marriage and Death and Division make barren our lives.'" "Where does that come from ?" asked Mrs.Lancaster.
"Ah! from--ah--" began Mr.Rimmon, then catching Keith's eyes resting on him with an amused look in them, he turned red.
She addressed Keith.
