"Yes Mulberry!" murmered Gladys.
"Then dear accept this as a token" said Mulberry and as he spoke he slipped a handsome diamond and saphire ring on her finger.
She had scarcely recovered her astonishment and pleasure when the butler entered announcing Mr. and Mrs. Vermont.
CHAPTER 29
THE DINNER PARTY
The Hon: Mr. and Mrs. Vermont were only the first of great numbers who flocked to Lord Beaufort's house that evening. By the time the dinner gong sounded the large drawing room was filled with ladies and gentlemen many of whom had brought instruments to play, as Mulberry intended it to be a musical evening.
Mulberry eyed Gladys lovingly as he gave his arm to Mrs. Murry and escorted her to the dining room.
The dinner table was a sight to behold!
Pink was the colour chosen for the evening.
