``It's for Mr. Archer to say, darling; he has waited patiently while you were dressing.''
``Yes -- I gave you time enough: my hair wouldn't go,'' Madame Olenska said, raising her hand to the heaped-up curls of her chignon. ``But that reminds me: I see Dr. Carver is gone, and you'll be late at the Blenkers'. Mr. Archer, will you put my aunt in the carriage?''
She followed the Marchioness into the hall, saw her fitted into a miscellaneous heap of overshoes, shawls and tippets, and called from the doorstep: ``Mind, the carriage is to be back for me at ten!'' Then she returned to the drawing-room, where Archer, on re-entering it, found her standing by the mantelpiece, examining herself in the mirror. It was not usual, in New York society, for a lady to address her parlour-maid as ``my
-163-dear one,'' and send her out on an errand wrapped in her own opera-cloak; and Archer, through all his deeper feelings, tasted the pleasurable excitement of being in a world where action followed on emotion with such Olympian speed.
