"Dearest Sibyl," wrote Marcus, "why didn't you tell me you were in London and taking Diana to her first dance? I had always meant to give her a pearl necklace for her coming-out ball. I will take her, of course, while you are abroad, on one condition, and that is that she isn't always rushing off to her aunt in the country. I dislike that woman, as you know. I dislike all strong-minded, self-opinionated women. You are quite right, she is no fit companion for a girl of Diana's age. Who has a better right to Diana than I have? I can't have Miss Carston interfering. Sibyl, my dear, I am longing to see you."
