THE CONFESSION OF A FOOL 97
The meeting had indeed been arranged by the Baroness.
I had but carried out her instructions in caUing. She
had given me away to save her ow)i skin.
I paid her out by spoihng a number of parties for her,
for my absence robbed her of the enjoyment which she
drew from the contemplation of my sufferings. But I
had to pay a heavy penalty ! Watching the houses to
which I knew her to be invited, I plunged the dagger into
my heart, trembling with jealous rage whenever I saw
her, in the arms of a partner, gliding past the windows
in her blue silk dress, with her sunny curls rising and
falling in the quick movements of the dance, with her
charmino- figure, on the tiniest feet in the world.
