"Well, if she wants to go to Constantinople, she might be able to," he said, pondering. "I heard to-day a ship might be going down to the Islands. There's always a chance. I'll see. But if she's got any sense she'll go back to her mother. That feller Lietherthal is good company but he'll go back to Munich by-and-by."
"She doesn't love him, I am almost sure."
"Evanthia, she don't love anybody except herself. I told you that."
"She loves me," said Alice.
"Well, p'raps she does, but you know what I mean."
"That gentleman this evening, Mr. Spokesly, he was interested in her."
"He's got a young lady in London," said Mr. Dainopoulos.
"Has he?" she murmured absently. "Do you think he'll come to-morrow night?"
"Yes, I think so. I bet you're goin' to have Evanthia in, too."
"Well, perhaps he'll fall in love with her," she whispered delightedly.
