Those who refused to go to Lady Spilsbury's, or to Lady Angelica Headingham's, or who were seen there, perhaps, once or twice in a season as a great favour and honour, would call three or four evenings every week at Alfred's. The first news, the first hints of discoveries, inventions, and literary projects, she heard from time to time discussed.
You really Oh! my dear Lady Trant, this must not go farther and positively the word jilt must never be used again; for I'm confident it is quite inapplicable." "I'd not swear for that," cried Lady Trant; "for, now I recollect, at Lady Angelica Headingham's, what was it we heard, my dear Lady Kew, about her coquetting with that Mr.
"Yes, my dear, I did promise to take you to Lady Angelica Headingham's, and Lady Spilsbury's, but there's time enough not yet not till I have established you in a higher society: not for your advantage to get among the blue-stockings the blue rubs off and the least shade might ruin you with some people.
Cator's, and Lady Spilsbury's, or Lady Angelica Headingham's conversazione Rosamond has a mixture of naivete and sprightliness that is new, and might take.

Nothing could be more stupid, her ladyship said, than running round always in the same circle; for her part, she loved to see clever odd people, and though her aunt-duchess would not let her go to Lady Spilsbury's, yet Lady Frances was sure that, with Lady Jane Granville for her chaperon, she could get a passport for Lady Angelica Headingham's, "because Lady Angelica is a sort of cousin, I can't tell you how many times removed, but just as many as will serve my present purpose a connexion quite near enough to prove her fashionable, and respectable, and all that: so, my dear Lady Jane I'll ask leave," concluded Lady Frances, "and we will go next conversazione day."
Falconer is glad to have them, because they are related to my lord duke. I have met them at Mrs. Falconer's, at Lady Angelica Headingham's, and often at Lady Jane Granville's.
