FOREWORD
The scandal sheets outão themselves in making à sen- sation of the episode at Cannes. Tommy returns to London Es soon as he can travel but Mary refuses to an- swer any of his messages. Lord Rexford, on his return, is cold and refuses to believe Mary la telling the whole truth. In desperation, she aske Tommy to tell him. He absolves Mary of all blame, but Philip, far from being per- suaded, is more outraged than ever at what he calls "cheap play-acting."
Sylvia would arrive in London sometime during the day!
"As if it weren't bad enough without her barging in with a wild crowd!" groaned Mary under her breath. There was another emo». tion mixed with her consternation, however. In a way she was glad. Whatever her faults, Sylvia was big-hearted and one to be loyal unto death. Different as they were, there was a strong bond, there was a deep love between them. Her husband might fail her; Mary knew her sister, would. never, no matter what she did, "walk out on" her
