CHAPTER I

LISA'S KNIGHT AND LISA'S SISTER

It had come at last, the moment I had been thinking about for days. Iwas going to have him all to myself, the only person in the world I everloved.

He had asked me to sit out two dances, and that made me think he reallymust want to be with me, not just because I'm the "pretty girl'ssister," but because I'm myself, Lisa Drummond.

Being what I am, queer, and plain, I can't bear to think that men likegirls for their beauty; yet I can't help liking men better if they arehandsome.

I don't know if Ivor Dundas is the handsomest man I ever saw, but heseems so to me. I don't know if he is very good, or really verywonderful, although he's clever and ambitious enough; but he has a waythat makes women fond of him; and men admire him, too. He looks straightinto your eyes when he talks to you, as if he cared more for you thananyone else in the world: and if I were an artist, painting a picture ofa dark young knight starting off for the crusades, I should ask IvorDundas to stand as my model.

Perhaps his expression wouldn't be exactly right for the pious youngcrusader, for it isn't at all saintly, really: still, I have seen justthat rapt sort of look on his face. It was generally when he was talkingto Di: but I wouldn't let myself believe that it meant anything inparticular. He has the reputation of having made lots of women fall inlove with him. This was one of the first things I heard when Di and Icame over from America to visit Lord and Lady Mountstuart. And of coursethere was the story about him and Maxine de Renzie. Everyone was talkingof it when we first arrived in London.
