"Her name is Maggy Delamere," replied Alexandra. "We used to live together at Sidey Street."
"And now?"
"She has a flat," she said with a little constraint.
"Is she on the stage?"
"Yes. At the Pall Mall. Haven't you noticed her? She's in the front row."
"I didn't know De Freyne had any married women in his chorus," said Meer thoughtfully.
"But Maggy isn't married," began Alexandra, and then stopped in confusion, suspecting that he must have seen the conspicuously broad wedding ring on Maggy's left hand, just as she herself could see it. She crumbled her bread nervously.
"Are you in favor of that sort of thing?" Meer asked abruptly, showing that he had been following her line of thought.
"It's very usual—on the stage," she answered evasively.
"You don't condemn it."
