Gresham and Lord Cantrip, and not by the sarcasms of the Bonteens and Ratlers of official life. But men who sojourn amidst savagery fear the mosquito more than they do the lion. He could not bear to think that he should yield his blood to such a one as Bonteen. And he must yield his blood, unless he could vote for Mr.
Phineas went up into the drawing-room for a few minutes after dinner, and was eagerly desirous of saying a few more words, he knew not what words, to Lady Laura. Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Bonteen had left the dining-room first, and Phineas again found Mr. Kennedy standing close to Lady Laura's shoulder. Could it be possible that there was anything in it? Mr.
Daubeny, and who now filled the high office of Patronage Secretary to the Treasury. "I believe in my heart," continued Mr. Bonteen, "that Roby is rejoiced that poor George Morris should be out in the cold." "If seats were halveable, he should share mine, for the sake of auld lang syne," said Laurence Fitzgibbon.
Bonteen, and Barrington Erle, and those special members of the Government who would be available for giving special help to the financial Hercules of the day. A question, perhaps of no great practical importance, had occurred to Mr. Palliser, but one which, if overlooked, might be fatal to the ultimate success of the measure.
"Our friend Madame Max has made quite a new conquest," said Mrs. Bonteen to Lady Glencora. "I am so pleased," said Lady Glencora, with apparently unaffected delight. "It is such a great thing to get anybody to amuse my uncle. You see everybody cannot talk to him, and he will not talk to everybody." "He talked enough to her in all conscience," said Mrs. Bonteen, who was now more angry than ever.

Lady Chiltern said that if policemen came to her, they might search everything she had in the world. Mrs.
Bonteen, and Lord Fawn was on the other side of Madame Goesler. They were hardly seated at the table before some one stated it as a fact that Lord Brentford and his son were reconciled. Now Phineas knew, or thought that he knew, that this could not as yet be the case; and indeed such was not the case, though the father had already received the son's letter.

"I think he is the most odious man that ever I set my eyes on," said Phineas to himself as he followed Mr. Kennedy into the dining-room. He had observed that Mr.
Kennedy, and he asked his wife. "Who told you?" said she, sharply. "Bonteen told me that it was certainly so." "Mr. Bonteen always knows more than anybody else about everything except his own business." "Then it is not true?" Lady Laura paused, and then she lied. "Of course it is not true. I should be very sorry to ask either of them, but to me it seems to be the most improbable thing in life."
