Chapter XII
“But she is undoubtedly very clever to come and see for herself,” was Mrs. Weguelin’s next comment. Mrs. Gregory’s face, as she replied to her companion, took on a censorious and superior expression. “You’ll remember, Julia, that I told Josephine St. Michael it was what they had to expect.” “But it was not Josephine, my dear, who at any time approved of taking such a course. It was Eliza’s whole doing.”
