Andrew stood quite still looking at her.

He saw her start for a moment as she recognized him, and her eyes swept him over with a half incredulous, half startled expression.

She drew a little breath.

And then Andrew saw her suddenly and instinctively stiffen.

She looked him in the face and bowed very slightly, without the vestige of a smile.
"How do you do, Mr.De la Borne ?" she said as she passed on, without taking the slightest notice of the hand, which, forgetting where he was, he had half extended towards her.
Andrew went on into the ballroom, found his partner, and danced with her.
