Chapter XII
The door of the apartment stood ajar and he walked in. Athalie, still in her evening gown, rose from the sofa before the fire, dropping the white Angora, Hafiz, from her lap. "It's so good of you, Clive," she said, offering her hand. "It's good of _you_, Athalie, to let me come." "_Let_ you!"
