Chapter XVII
THE COMING OF LOVE They were dining quite alone at the Cambornes'--the duke, the bishop, Lord Hayle, and Lady Constance. When he had changed and came down-stairs the duke went into the drawing-room. There were still a few minutes before dinner would be served. He found himself alone, and walked up and down the beautiful room with a curious physical, as well as mental, restlessness. He felt out of tune, as it were.
