Sonata for a Scoundrel
“The Marquise le Vayer, a petite lady wearing sapphires, kissed Darien Reynard’s cheeks and drew him forward, leaving Clara and Nicholas to trail behind him into her well-appointed salon. “How splendid that you grace us with your presence again. Come, come, introduce your companions. Is this the composer I have heard so much of?” The marquise sent Nicholas a significant glance, one dark brow arched.
Once again, Clara was invisible. She stifled her stab of irritation. Their hostess had not meant ...to slight her, and to his credit, Darien had become scrupulous about presenting her.
Behind the marquise, the room was a bright swirl of faces and movement. The sound of a piano drifted through the conversation, playing a piece Clara did not recognize. She dipped a curtsey to the marquise as Darien introduced first herself, then Nicholas.
“Enchanteé.” The marquise’s bright eyes lit on Nicholas again. “A new composer among us. There are many people here you must meet, though it is a pity that wretch Berlioz is off in Italy.”MoreLess
