She was unsuspectingly accepted as Millicent Moore , and found her impersonation of that young lady not at all difficult . No dangerous subject of conversation was introduced and nothing personal was said until Mr. Kirby came in . He looked so scrutinizingly at Worth as he shook hands with her that the latter felt her heart beating very fast . Did he suspect ? `` Upon my word , Miss Moore , '' he said genially , `` you gave me quite a start at first . You are very like what a half-sister of mine used to be when a girl long ago . Of course the resemblance must be quite accidental . '' `` Of course , '' said Worth , without any very clear sense of what she was saying . Her face was uncomfortably flushed and she was glad when tea was announced . As nothing more of an embarrassing nature was said , Worth soon recovered her self-possession and was able to enter into the conversation . She liked the Kirbys ; still , under her enjoyment , she was conscious of a strange , disagreeable feeling that deepened as the evening wore on . It was not fear -- she was not at all afraid of betraying herself now . It had even been easier than she had expected . Then what was it ? Suddenly Worth flushed again . She knew now -- it was shame . She was a guest in that house as an impostor ! What she had done seemed no longer a mere joke . What would her host and hostess say if they knew ? That they would never know made no difference .
She herself could not forget it , and her realization of the baseness XXXXX the deception grew stronger under Mrs. Kirby 's cordial kindness .
