'But in the course of that survey her eyes met Deronda's.'

Colored illustration of a woman in a white dress with pink trim and a hat standing at a gambling table surrounded by a large crowd.

Gwendolen in a white dress with pink trim stands at a gambling table, surrounded by gentry. Deronda is watching her lose when their eyes meet. The scene is symbolic of her willingness to gamble. It also marks the beginning of the relationship between the reckless Gwendolen and her would-be rescuer Daniel Deronda (Book 1, Chapter 1).
