Wharton was not at home Vivian knew that it would be best to avoid seeing Mrs. Wharton; but he was afraid that she would be offended, and he could not help sacrificing a few minutes to politeness. The lady was alone; apparently very languid, and charmingly melancholy.
"Uncle Jaff, are you going to eat all that?" she asked in an audible whisper. "Yes, and you too," he roared, "and mummy and daddy and Uncle Adrian, if I don't get enough to eat!" "And Aunt Doria?" Again he reddened but he turned to Doria and bowed. "In my quality of ogre only a bonne bouche," said he. It was said very charmingly, and we laughed.
