Chapter XXXI
Meanwhile, in the tea-room, Betty was daintily sipping her claret-cup, while Aldous stood by her. "No," said Betty, calmly, looking straight at the lady in the tiara who was standing by the buffet, "she's not beautiful, and I've torn my dress running after her. There's only one beautiful person here to-night!" Aldous found her a seat, and took one himself beside her, in a corner out of the press. But he did not answer her remark.
