"My dear Lord Warburton," she said, smiling, "you may do, so far as I'm concerned, whatever comes into your head."
And with this she got up and wandered into the adjoining room, where, within her companion's view,she was immediately addressed by a pair of gentlemen,high personages in the Roman world, who met her as if they had been looking for her. While she talked with them she found herself regretting she had moved;it looked a little like running away—all the more as Lord Warburton didn't follow her. She was glad of this, however, and at any rate she was satisfied. She was so well satisfied that when, in passing back into the ball-room, she found Edward Rosier still planted in the doorway, she stopped and spoke to him again."You did right not to go away. I've some comfort for you."
