My comment:

Context:
When presented with Shipp, without apologizing for being late, she looked like a high society worldly woman at a table of old satyrs, style Chez Maxime, to whom she languidly allowed to pay their respects pleased that so many important lords have been waiting for her without a hint of reproach
