Miss Bart assented . `` Yes -- I caught sight of you on the way back , at the station . '' `` Well , the man who was in the carriage with you and George Dorset -- that horrid little Dabham who does ` Society Notes from the Riviera ' -- had been dining with us at Nice . And he 's telling everybody that you and Dorset came back alone after midnight . '' `` Alone -- ? When he was with us ? '' Lily laughed , but her laugh faded into gravity under the prolonged implication of Mrs. Fisher 's look .
