'To-morrow, then! said Carling intrepidly, on a dash of enthusiasm, through a haggard thought of his wife and the cook and the netting of friends at short notice. He urged his eagerness to ask whether he might indeed have the satisfaction of naming to-morrow. 'With happiness, Fenellan responded. Mrs. Carling was therefore in for it.
Fenellan was reading his friend's character by the light of his remarks and in opposition to them, after the critical fashion of intimates who know as well as hear: but it was amiably and trippingly, on the dance of the wine in his veins. His look, however, was one that reminded; and Mr. Radnor cried: 'Now! whatever it is! 'I had an interview: I assure you, Mr.
I like her too. She came to her sentiment through the sentiment of the chivalrous gentleman. Sinking from it, she remarked that Mr. Radnor was handsome still. Fenellan commended the subject to her, as one to discourse of when she met Dartrey. A smell of a trap-hatch, half-open, afflicted and sharpened him.
Her only regret was on account of the exclusion of Colney Durance from the party, because of happy memories associating him with the Seine-land, and also that his bilious criticism of his countrymen was moderated by a trip to the Continent. Fenellan reported Colney to be 'busy in the act of distilling one of his Prussic acid essays. Fenellan would have jumped to go.
Music, strangely, put the spell on Colney Durance, the sayer of bitter things, manufacturer of prickly balls, in the form of Discord's apples of whom Fenellan remarked, that he took to his music like an angry little boy to his barley-sugar, with a growl and a grunt.

'Dartrey won't be back for a week or so; and they're off to Switzerland, after the dinner they give. I heard from him this morning; one of the Clanconans is ill. 'Lucky. But wherever Blathenoy takes her, he must be the same "arid bore," as old Colney says. 'A domestic simoom, said Fenellan, booming it: and Victor had a shudder. 'Awful thing, marriage, to some women!
'They may suit one of your militant peacemakers, interposed Fenellan. 'The most placable creatures alive, and the surest for getting-up a shindy. 'Suit him! They're the scandal of our streets. Victor was pricked with a jealousy of them for beguiling him of his trusty servant. 'Look at your country, see where it shows its vitality, said Colney.
Then it was, that Nesta recalled her anticipation of his possible design; forgotten by her during their talk of her dear people: Priscilla Graves and Mr. Pempton, and the Yatts, and Simeon Fenellan, Peridon and Catkin, and Skepsey likewise; and the very latest news of her mother. She wished she could have run before him, to spare him. He would not notice a sign. Girls must wait and hear.
I swear he came yesterday on the chance of seeing for he forced his way up past my servant; he must have seen Miss Radnor's maid below. 'You don't mean, that he insulted her hearing? 'Oh! Captain Fenellan, you know the style. 'Well, I thank you, Dartrey said. 'The young lady is the daughter of my dearest friends. She's one of the precious you're quite right. Keep the tears back.
