"It suits you very well."
"They thought at my lesson that I looked like a lady-in-waiting."
"Who thought so?"
"Frau Bittner herself and her two daughters whom I am teaching."
"I should rather say, like an Arch-Duchess."
Anna nodded with satisfaction.
"And now tell me, Anna, all that's happened to you since yesterday."
She began quite seriously: "Twelve o'clock, after I left you at the door of our house, dinner in the family circle. Rested a little in the afternoon, and thought about you. Pupils from four to six-thirty, then read 'Grüner Heinrich,' and the evening paper. Too lazy to go out again, messed about at home. Supper. The usual domestic scene."
"Your brother?" queried George.
She answered with a "Yes" that ruled out all further questions. "A little music after supper.... Even tried to sing."
