Meraud, named doubtless by exotic derivation from émeraude (emerald), took after her mother in an eccentric love of painting. She learned to draw accurately at the strict Slade School. She carried a little suitcase instead of a handbag "because," she told the supercilious young Marquess of Donegall, "the damned thing holds more, you fool."

A threatened raid on his former fellows brings him to his senses in time to warn them of it, and lead...
