This boy will be ravenous for Earth when he is let loose, and very soon make his share of it look as foolish as yonder game-pie!" a prophecy Adrian kept to himself. Uncle Algernon shambled in to see his nephew before the supper was finished, and his more genial presence brought out a little of the plot. "Look here, uncle!" said Richard.
"You'll get a topper there, I can tell you eggs, bacon, kidneys, liver, game-pie, cocoa, coffee, tea, chocolate; anything and everything you fancy, and the best marmalade in London."

For, supposing my reader one of the company, let him rise from the well-appointed table its silver, bright as the complex motions of butler's elbows can make it; its china, ornate though not elegant; its ham, huge, and neither too fat nor too lean; its game-pie, with nothing to be desired in composition, or in flavour natural or artificial; let him rise from these and go to the left of the two windows, for there are two opposite each other, the room having been enlarged by being built out: if he be such a one as I would have for a reader, might I choose a reader whose heart, not merely his eye, mirrors what he sees one who not merely beholds the outward shows of things, but catches a glimpse of the soul that looks out of them, whose garment and revelation they are; if he be such, I say, he will stand, for more than a moment, speechless with something akin to that which made the morning stars sing together.

There was, however, added a little prayer that Lord Nidderdale would at once come down to the Treasury Chambers. "They must be very hard up," said Lord Nidderdale. "But I shall do it. Cantrip is always at me to do something, and you see if I don't butter them up properly." Then having fortified himself with game-pie and a glass of brown sherry he went away at once to the Treasury Chambers.
'My dear boy, don't make apologies to me; keep them for your father. I'm only too glad to have you back. Miss Gibson, this tall fellow is my son Osborne, as I daresay you have guessed.
