There was just a trace of the one expression he had never before seen in her face--fear--lurking in her eyes, even asserting itself in her tone. "Tell me exactly how you met her ?" "She was lunching with her father and Oscar Immelan. She stopped to speak to Karschoff and asked him to present me. Afterwards, she invited us to take coffee in the lounge." "She went out of her way to make your acquaintance, then ?" "Yes, I suppose she did." "You know who she is ?" "The daughter of one of the Russian Consuls over here, I understood." "She is more than that," Maggie declared nervously. |
