These are the connections of the great world: my good reader, learn the great world as you look at them! All was soon settled. Godolphin was easily disembarrassed of his commission.

It was manifest that nothing special could be said to Mrs. Houghton on that occasion, as one person came after another. She looked all the while perfectly disembarrassed.
