This was after the elastic Algernon had, on the paternal intimation of his colonel, relinquished his cornetcy and military service.
Horses were to him what music is to a poet, and the glory of the Races he had witnessed was still quick in heart, and partly counteracted his astonishment at the sight of his old village enemy in company with Algernon Blancove.

Major Waring remarked, "You are late."
The question is about this poor young fellow who's to marry her to-day. Mr. Blancove talks of giving him a handsome sum a thousand pounds and making him comfortable " "There!"

"Will you let me run off to the young man, wherever he's to be found, and put the case to him that is, from Dahlia?
Squire Blancove, having business in town, called on his brother at the Bank, asking whether Sir William was at home, with sarcastic emphasis on the title, which smelt to him of commerce. Sir William invited him to dine and sleep at his house that night. "You will meet Mrs. Lovell, and a Major Waring, a friend of hers, who knew her and her husband in India," said the baronet.
