Chapter XXXIII
The greeting between the two men was cold, and the Prince almost immediately stepped between them. Nevertheless, Brott seemed to have a fancy to talk with Mr. Sabin. “I was at Camperdown House yesterday,” he remarked. “Her Ladyship was regretting that she saw you so seldom.” “I have been a little remiss,” Mr. Sabin answered.
