Duson was talking to a tall fair woman, who turned swiftly round at the sound of his approach.
"Ah, they found you, then!" she exclaimed, coming towards him with outstretched hands.

"Isn't this a strange place and a strange country for us to meet once more in ?" He greeted her gallantly, but with a certain reserve, of which she was at once aware.
"Are there any countries in the world left which are strange to so great a traveler as Lady Muriel Carey ?" he said.

"The papers here have been full of your wonderful adventures in South Africa." She laughed.
"Everything shockingly exaggerated, of course," she declared.

"I have really been plagued to death since I got here with interviewers, and that sort of person.

I wonder if you know how glad I am to see you again ?" "You are very kind, indeed," he said.
