Lady Gaunt wrote the invitation which his Lordship required, and she and her mother-in-law drove in person, and with bitter and humiliated hearts, to leave the cards on Mrs. Rawdon, the reception of which caused that innocent woman so much pleasure. There were families in London who would have sacrificed a year's income to receive such an honour at the hands of those great ladies. Mrs.
He doesn't love her. He doesn't love me. He doesn't love anything in the world but himself and his cigarettes. I know, for I've paid for his cigarettes for nearly three years. He has actually ridiculed me in court circles, he has defamed me, snubbed me, humiliated me, cursed me. You cannot imagine what it has been like. Once he struck me in " "Struck you!" I cried.
To the protection of one or the other she felt she must go; and it humiliated her to think that in all the world there was no other place for her. The wildness of that one night in the old Abbey seemed to have power to govern all her life to come.

Roused, humiliated, baffled, Mr. Magee felt his cheeks burn. "We shall see what we shall see," he muttered. "Why coin the inevitable into a bromide," she asked. Mr. Magee joined the group by the fire.
Well, they ought to know something about him now, but they were not very clever or they would have extended their experiments over a longer time. It looked as if they thought him something of a fool, and this was, perhaps, an advantage. Kit smiled as he remembered that when Janet Bell tried to flirt with him he had been rather humiliated and felt himself a prig.

I wanted to ask, "When will it be the 'last minute' and what does the 'last minute' mean?" but where was the good? So we went into the dining-room.
