.....
It was a dinner party they were going to, to be followed by a small informal dance. Arriving at their friend's house, the hostess drew Jean to one side.
"I'm going to introduce you to such an interesting man, to-night, dear," she said. "Mr. Gilbert Larose. You know he used to be one of the star detectives of Scotland Yard until he married that rich widow, Lady Ardane, and gave up all his work. I've arranged that he shall take you into dinner and you will be amazed what a charming man an ex-detective can be." She laughed slyly. "I expect he'll be your slave after about ten minutes, as he is very susceptible where pretty girls are concerned."
