Chapter XIV
There was a half reluctant admiration in Prince Shan's eyes as he sat back in the dim recesses of his box and scrutinised his visitor. La Belle Nita had learnt all that Paris and London could teach her. "You are very beautiful, Nita," he said. "Many men tell me so," she answered. "Life has gone well with you since we met last?" he asked reflectively.
