Peter began to
have a very low opinion of foreigners. Then he remembered that Leonore
had the same prejudice, so he became more reconciled to the fact that
the Marquis was sitting next her. And when Leonore sent him a look and a
smile, and held up the wrist, so as to show the pearl bracelet, Peter
suddenly thought what a delicious _rissole_ he was eating.
As the dinner waned, one of the footmen brought him a card, on which
Watts had written: "They want me to say a few words of welcome and of
Dot. Will you respond?" Peter read the note and then wrote below it:
"Dear Miss D'Alloi: You see the above. May I pay you a compliment? Only
one? Or will it embarrass you?" When the card came back a new line said:
"Dear Peter: I am not afraid of your compliment, and am very curious to
hear it." Peter said, "Tell Mr. D'Alloi that I will with pleasure." Then
he tucked the card in his pocket. That card was not going to be wasted.
So presently the glasses were filled up, even Peter saying, "You may
give me a glass," and Watts was on his feet.
