" She wants to be magnificent." "She is," said the Colonel almost cynically. "She wants"--his wife now had it fast "to be thoroughly superior, and she's capable of that." "Of wanting to?" "Of carrying out her idea." "And what IS her idea?" "To see Maggie through." Bob Assingham wondered. "Through what?" "Through everything. She KNOWS the Prince. "
