Description
The Countess of Tidal Bore appeared on the steps just as her husband, who was returning, arrived under the carriage entrance. He stopped for a few seconds to look at his wife, and he faded a little. She was very beautiful, slender, distinguished with her long oval face, her golden ivory complexion, her large grey eyes and her black hair; and she got into her car without looking at him, without even looking as if she had seen him, with such a distinguished look, that the infamous jealousy of which he had been so long devoured, bit him in the heart again.
