M. de Lorraine belonged to a family which had been noted for its pretensions, and for the disputes of precedency in which it engaged.

He fancied he had caught a tremor in her voice, then he called himself a fool as he noted the composure that seemed to argue indifference. Her calmness stung while it strengthened him. Why should she care, he asked himself bitterly. His going could mean to her only relief. And disappointment made his own voice ring cold ...
