It is a week later. Lady Etwynde and her husband have left Paris and gone back to the esthetic mansion in Kensington. They have decided on living there still. To Lady Etwynde it is endeared by many memories and associations, and her husband is content with whatever pleases her. Lady Jean is still in the gay city, and so is Keith Athelstone.
"How the affair drags! " murmurs the Lady Jean to herself one evening as she is making her toilette. "Karolyski is persevering, I can see; but Keith -- he is quite too stupid. I must try and hasten the _dénouement_. Besides, Frank comes back in a few days, and I don't want _him_ to suspect. Could I bring matters to an issue to-night, I wonder?"
