The Hammond girl had been rather nasty all summer-she was, moreover, well known to be in hot pursuit of Rich Hilary. Until Allys came on the scene it had seemed the pursuit must be successful. They had gone abroad on the same steamer the year before, dawdled through a London season, and come home simultaneously-he rather bored and languid, she of a demure and downcast, but withal possessive, air.
She had said they were not engaged-"oh, dear no, only excellent friends," but looking all the while a contradiction of the words. Then unwisely she had taken Hilary to that tiresome tea for the little Rhett girl-and behold! the mischief was done.
The little Rhett girl was not little; instead, she was divinely tall, and lithe as a young ash.
No child, either. What with inclination and mother-wisdom, her coming out had waited for her to find herself. At nineteen she had found herself-a woman, well poised and charming as she was beautiful.
