I was there, and I was with Mrs.Smith when Lane came up to us.
If ever I saw a cool, smooth, handsome devil it was Lane....

Well, he said what he said.

I thought Mrs.Smith would faint.

It is my idea Lane had a deep motive back of his remark about Fanchon's dress and her dancing.

The fact is Lane was _sick_ at what he saw--sick and angry.
