Digby is coming this evening. The soft exhilaration could not be noticeable, for everybody seemed in some degree to share it. 'Dear Gerald, how delightful! said Lady Pickering, with, to Althea's consciousness, too much an air of possessorship. 'Gerald is a splendid actor, Miss Pepperell, Sir Charles said to Dorothy.
It should be added, what Mr Holmes tells us on good authority, that the vice of ebriety was not among Mozart's failings. "He drank to the point of exhilaration, but not beyond."
