~Flossie.~ Who's the lady in the box with Mr. Johnson?
~Gussie.~ Hush! It's his wife!
And Flossie giggled so much that she could hardly listen to the last Act
of _Christina's Mistake_, which she had been looking forward to for
weeks!
The _Sunday Sermon_ offered free tickets to a hundred unmarried suburban
girls, to which class _Christina's Mistake_ might be supposed to make a
special religious appeal. But they had to collect coupons first for _The
Sunday Sermon_.
And finally _The Times_ of two months later, said:
"A marriage has been arranged between Lady Dorothy Neal, daughter of the
Earl of Skye, and the Hon. Geoffrey Bollinger."
Than a successful revenge nothing is sweeter in life. Hector Strong was
not the man to spare any one who had done him an injury. Yet I think his
method of revenging himself upon Lady Dorothy savoured of the
diabolical. He printed a photograph of her in _The Daily Picture
Gallery_. It was headed "The Beautiful Lady Dorothy Neal."
THE END
Transcriber's Notes
Simple and obvious errors corrected.
The hyphenation (or not) of several words appears to have changed over
the nine year period in which these stories were written or is
indeterminate. These include ballroom, blackbird, businesslike and
halfway. The hyphenations have been left in their original state.
