Chapter XXI
RATHER A GHASTLY PART Mademoiselle Rosine raised her glass. Her big black eyes flashed unutterable things across the pink roses. "I think," she said, "that we drink the good health of our host, Meester Macheson, Meester Victor, is it not?" "Bravo!" declared a pallid-looking youth, her neighbour at the round supper table. "By Jove, if we were at the _Cote d'Or_ instead of the _Warwick_, we'd give him musical honours."
