THE CARD
by Arnold Bennett
Abridged by Madge Hart
Read by Michael Aldridge
As Denry crossed the floor he said to himself 'She can eat me, she can'eat me.' People seemed to make a lane for him, divining his intention. In a second, so it appeared, he had reached the countess. 'Could I have this dance with you? ' he demanded, smiling and showing his teeth. He took the heavenly creature in his arms.
