But tonight his handling of them was not so dainty and delicate as usual, and he actually dropped the porringer on the floor as he was dusting it, for his mind still occupied itself with the Guru and the practices that led to permanent youth. How quick Lucia had been to snap him up for her garden-party. Yet perhaps she would not get him, for he might say he was not sent.
They went off together, and I saw no more of Conroy till dinner-time. He deliberately avoided my garden-party, although Godfrey had explained to him the night before that my guests would be "quite the funniest lot of bounders to be found anywhere." The Pringles must have been disappointed at not meeting Conroy.
And one boy wanted his mother badly, and said so. But oh, how ready they were to be cheery! how they enjoyed their day! And, indeed, we did our best for them. Lady Bagot's hospital was full, and we called it her garden-party when we all had tea in the open air there.
It was a surprise to meet him at All Saints on St. Peter's day. "Come with us, Infanta," he said, pausing at the door of the carriage. "I am to have my drive early to-day, as the ladies are going to this great garden-party." Sydney said she would walk home with Mrs. Brownlow, and be taken up when Babie was set down.

"But if your father and his were such friends why don't you see more of each other?" Miss Bocock looked cheerfully at her. "Why, because he is big and we aren't.

Alwynn, to be suddenly sprung upon her at a garden-party, when, possibly in an old garment herself, she was least able to bear the shock.
