was beginning to ask myself if we should perform this evening. It
wouldn't greatly have surprised me if you had not returned in time.

your own way and scorning my advice, nothing can surprise me."
She crossed the room to the table, and leaning against it, looked
down upon him almost disdainfully.
"I have nothing to regret," she said.
"So every fool says at first. Nor would you admit it if you had.
You are like that. You go your own way in spite of advice from
older heads. Death of my life, girl, what do you know of men?"
"I am not complaining," she reminded him.
"No, but you may be presently, when you discover that you would have
done better to have been guided by your old father. So long as your
Marquis languished for you, there was nothing you could not have
done with the fool. So long as you let him have no more than your
fingertips to kiss... ah, name of a name! that was the time to
build your future.
