Chapter I

The Affair on the Liner

"Magnifique!" ejaculated the Countess de Coude, beneath her breath.

"Eh?" questioned the count, turning toward his young wife. "What is it
that is magnificent?" and the count bent his eyes in various directions
in quest of the object of her admiration.

"Oh, nothing at all, my dear," replied the countess, a slight flush
momentarily coloring her already pink cheek. "I was but recalling with
admiration those stupendous skyscrapers, as they call them, of New
York," and the fair countess settled herself more comfortably in her
steamer chair, and resumed the magazine which "nothing at all" had
caused her to let fall upon her lap.

Her husband again buried himself in his book, but not without a mild
wonderment that three days out from New York his countess should
suddenly have realized an admiration for the very buildings she had but
recently characterized as horrid.
