By the way, did you ever see that girl ?" "Certainly.

I was staying in her father's house while the engagement was going on." "Were you!" said Lady Selina, eagerly, "and what did you think of her ?" "Well, in the first place," said Wharton, slowly, "she is beautiful--you knew that ?" Lady Selina nodded.
"Yes.

Miss Raeburn, who has told me most of what I know, always throws in a shrug and a 'but' when you ask about her looks.

However, I have seen a photograph of her, so I can judge for myself.

It seemed to me a beauty that men perhaps would admire more than women." Wharton devoted himself to his green peas, and made no reply.
