"Baroni has been round to see me—to ask me to break off my engagement." He laughed shortly.
"He doesn't approve, I suppose?"
"That's a mild way of expressing his attitude."
Adrienne was silent a moment. Then she spoke, slowly, consideringly.
"I don't—approve—either. It isn't right, Max."
He bit his lip.
"So you—you, too, are against me?"
She stretched out her hand impulsively.
"Not against you, Max! Never that! How could I be? . . . But I don't think you're being quite fair to Diana. You ought to tell her the truth."
He wheeled round.
