"Will I do?" she asked him.
"You are very beautiful!" he answered feelingly.
Jane heard it all, remembered their names. She suspected that Jerry's admission made the whole evening a success for Althea Morton. It interested Jane, and amused her a little, to see his power over women.
"Whom did you get for Salome?" Althea asked him.
"Oh, I want you to meet her. She looks great."
He turned to find Jane almost beside them. He had not realized how near to them she sat.
"Here you are! Mrs. Brendon, this is Miss Jane Judd. Miss Morton, Miss Judd. If Miss Judd had not come to our rescue I do not know what we would have done."
The women bowed to each other, and Mrs. Brendon frankly inspected Jane.
"Very good of you, I'm sure. You look charming."
"Thank you."
