Excerpt from The Altar of Life
Somebody interesting at last, said a girl in pink, excitedly. Isabel Carlingford has just come in. Do you see? I recognise her from her portraits. She's posing in that alcove with the soldier-man.
Frere, himself a soldier, followed the direction of her glance with interest.
The woman in black with the detachable com plexion P How disappointing.
But you surely didn't expect anything better of her She's pretty all the same, the girl admitted grudgingly. It's an added reason for hating her. Though why I personally hate her, I don't know. A question of prejudice, perhaps. I can't forgive her behaviour in that Sakat business. I know nothing about him personally, but I shall champion Captain Trench till I die!
