The ladies said they were waiting for their carriage, which they had left at a certain point when they went to look at the fall, and had ordered to take them up at the inn. They talked about people and things that Kitty had never heard of. "Have you seen the Trailings since you left Newport?" asked the elder woman. "No," said Mr. Arbuton.
"You like our country, Miss Coventry; fine climate, excellent soil, nice and dry for ladies?" I willingly subscribed to all these advantages. "Good neighbourhood," added the Squire; "capital hunting, charming rides, wonderful scenery for sketching. Do you think you could live in this part of the world?" I thought I could if I was to try.
And now, Madame, will you not go to rest? I will be at the service of these gentlemen." It seemed cruel to torture them further that night, and the three ladies were dismissed by Lowney, and, attended by their maids, they left us. "Now, Jepson," Lowney began, "tell us all you know about Mr. Schuyler's doings. I daresay you know as much as the valet does. Was Mr.
Thence after dinner away with Sir G. Carteret to White Hall, setting down my Lord Brereton at my Lord Brouncker's, and there up and down the house, and on the Queen's side, to see the ladies, and there saw the Duchesse of York, whom few pay the respect they used, I think, to her; but she bears all out, with a very great deal of greatness; that is the truth of it.

He appeared to be amazingly energetic, and she seemed to struggle to be released. He recovered himself, however made a solemn bow the ladies vanished.
His lordship hesitated in his selection from these beauties. What else should they do but pursue an object so charming? Everybody hunted him. The other young ladies, whom we need not mention, languished after him still more longingly. He had little notes from these; presents of purses worked by them, and cigar-cases embroidered with his coronet.
Well, as I said, policeman Danby knew a pretty girl when he saw one, and there being two at Clay's, that household, in the way of the law, was very well looked after indeed; and for the purpose of escaping the annual registration fee, Andrew's little dog, "Whiskey," had remained a puppy as long as some young ladies tarry under thirty.
