"The one you talk about," said Olivia innocently.
"I recognised it at once from the description you read just now."
"Are you sure," said Rupert much excited, for he never expected to hear of the missing fan from Olivia of all people.
"Quite sure--positive. The fan is painted green on one side and the sticks on the other are overlaid with thin jade, so I suppose it gets its name from the mineral. Then it has a cord of yellow silk with four beads and half a bead, and----"
"It is the same. Where did Burgh get it?"
"I don't know. He says he brought it from China, and offered it to me. I refused it----"
"I should think so," said Ainsleigh fuming, "well?"
"Then he gave it to my aunt."
"And has Miss Wharf got it now?"
"I think so, but I have not seen it lately. I expect if she has, she will use it at the ball."
