Chapter XXXIII
FELICIA HESITATES Felicia looked at me for a moment with wide-open eyes. Then a little stream of color rushed into her cheeks, her lips slowly parted, and she laughed, not altogether without embarrassment. "Capitaine Rotherby," she said, "you must not say such things--so suddenly!" "Last time we met," I reminded her, "you called me Austen." "Austen, then, if I must," she said.
