"Chess is one."
"What is the other?"
"Love," he replied, smiling at her so blandly that she laughed. Then she thought of Rosalie, and it was on the tip of her tongue to say something impudent. But "Do you do that game very well?" was all she said.
"Would you care to judge how well I do it?"
"As umpire? Yes, if you like."
He said: "We will umpire our own game, Miss Seagrave."
"Oh, we couldn't do that, could we? We couldn't play and umpire, too." Suddenly the thought of Duane and Rosalie turned her bitter and she said:
"We'll have two perfectly disinterested umpires. I choose your wife for one. Whom do you choose?"
Over his handsome face the slightest muscular change passed, but far from wincing he nodded coolly.
