“I never had as good a time in my life,” she exclaimed, her voice tremulous with ecstasy. “Did I look well?”
“Never so well,” said I. “And you made a hit.”
“I was careful to cultivate the women,” said she. “I’ve got to get the women.”
“You’ve got them,” I declared sincerely.
“You’re sure I didn’t make some of them jealous? Did you see any signs?”
“They liked you,” said I.
“I had to play my cards well,” pursued she. “It was a difficult position. I was far and away the best looking woman there, with the possible exception of Mrs. Armitage. Did you hear her call me Edna?”
“You and Mrs. Armitage look well together. You are of about the same figure, and the contrast of coloring is very good.”
“That’s why we took to each other so quickly. Each of us sets off the other.”
“How did you like Armitage?” I asked.
