Philip entered.

Still he was unheard.

He stood silent until the song was finished, and it was Josephine, turning, who saw him first.
"Philip!" she cried.
Adare started, as if awakening from a dream.

Josephine came to Philip, holding out both her hands, her beautiful face smiling with welcome.
Even as their warm touch thrilled him he felt a sudden chill creep over him.

A swift glance showed him that Adare had gone to Miriam.
