Just before the first carriage drove up, Malcolm, who was standing
by Elizabeth on the terrace, suggested that she and Mr. Carlyon
should give him and Cedric their revenge; but she told him quite
seriously that they must not think of it for the present.
"The sets are all arranged, and Dinah and I must devote ourselves to
our guests," she remarked; and as this was only reasonable, Malcolm
said no more.
"I am going to introduce you to Tina Ross," she continued. "There
she and her sister Patty are just coming up the drive now. She is a
very good player, and your opponents will be Nora Brent and Mr.
Carlyon."
"We are under orders, Herrick," observed David with mock humility;
and then the introduction was made and the little white and blue
fairy walked off demurely enough with Malcolm.
Tina Ross was certainly a very pretty girl; she had one of those
babyish sort of faces that appeal so strongly to some men; her
manners were kittenish and full of vivacity, and she had a way of
glancing at a person from under her long curling lashes that was
considered very alluring.
