Diana of the Crossways Chapter 3 - The Interior of Mr. Redworth, and the Exterior of Mr. Sullivan Smith

In which the observant Mr. Redworth, a philosophical bachelor, finds himself unexpectedly entangled in the vibrant social whirl of an Irish soirée, marked by a spirited debate on heroism between him and the lively Miss Merion, whose boldness and charm awaken an unusual stir within him.
