To Diana's astonishment she recognised in the newcomer Olga Lermontof, Baroni's accompanist.
"Miss Lermontof!" she exclaimed.

"I had no idea that you lived here." Miss Lermontof nodded a brief greeting.
"How d'you do?
Yes, I've lived here for some time.

But I didn't know that you were coming.

I thought you had rooms somewhere ?" "So I had.

But I was obliged to give them up, and Signor Baroni suggested this instead." "Hope you'll like it," returned Miss Lermontof shortly.
