fire		 [Frontispiece]
“What I have seen,” Matravers said gravely, “I
do not like”		Page[15]
But nothing in her words or in his alluded to it“[25]
Her companion, who was intent upon the wine list,
noticed nothing 		“[31]
“Friends,” she repeated, with a certain wistfulness
in her tone		“[65]

tea equipage		“[83]
With an old-fashioned courtesy ... he offered
her his arm		“[105]

Berenice was lying in a crumpled heap on the low
