They walked on slowly side by side, while Shere, who now that he had begun to confide was quite swept away, bent over his saddle and told how after inheriting a modest fortune, after wandering for three years from city to city, he had at last come to Paris, and there, at a Carlist conversazione, had heard the familiar name called from a doorway, and had seen the unfamiliar face appear.
Later in the day, with several books under his arm, he rang the bell at 17, Cadogan Street. He was committed now to the enterprise, which had never been out of his thoughts since the night of the conversazione. Pauline kept him waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour.
"Very true; but we can ice our negus and cherry-water. Rough ice is only two-pence a pound, I believe." "Well, that will be an improvement." "And there shall be more, or I'll be in the Bench," replied the Doctor in his wrath. The next conversazione, for which cards were issued by Doctor Feasible, was on a superior scale.

Crosland's conversazione was enriched with a supper, and terminated with a dance, in which Mr. joined with heart and soul, but Mrs. went to sleep in her chair, and I would gladly have followed her example if I could have found a chair to sit upon. In the course of the evening I had some talk with a pale, nervous young lady, who has been a noted spiritual medium.
