SYBELLE
"Will you not grow tired of a wife always intruding into what you think of as a man's affairs?" Sybelle asked nervously. "Perhaps I am not as beautiful or clever"
"Shame!" Waiter cried, laughing and interrupting her. "Oh, shame, to throw out so plain a lure for a compliment. You know quite well that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. But surely a clever girl could have found a more subtle way to induce me to tell her what she wished to hear."
Sybelle could not help laughing, too, but amid her amusement there was a treacherous warmth, an insistent desire to return Walter's embrace, to taste the mouth smiling down at her.
"I am cleverer than that, Sir Walter," she said, twisting out of his hold.
"Roberta Gellis is a superb storyteller of extraordinary talent."
