She was talking brightly with a knot of half a dozen young officers, all clamoring for "extras," when, soft and sweet, the strains of "Immortellen," that loveliest of Gungl's waltzes, floated on the air, and Ray stood there before her. "My waltz, Miss Sanford. Can I claim you in face of such an array of aspirants?" She rested her hand on his arm, nodding blithely to the group, and calling laughingly back to them as he led her away.
