Explore "Two Bad Blue Eyes" by Eliza Margaret Jane Humphreys on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
All through that day Lauraine keeps in her own room. Sir Francis does not approach her. He is quite confident that his threat has taken effect -- that she will never proceed to extremities. He has not seen Lady Jean to tell her of his wife's discovery, and he dares not send her another message. When he goes down to dinner he finds his wife in the drawing-room. She looks very pale, and is dressed in black velvet. Lady Etwynde is beside her, and Colonel Carlisle is standing near.
Sir Francis has scarcely entered the room when Lady Jean follows. She and Lauraine have not met that day. She walks up to her hostess, extending her hand.
