My attachment to I trust entirely where I trust at all my attachment to Mr. Devereux is for life." "He deserves it deserves it all," cried I, struggling for utterance; "that is as much as a rival can say." "Not more than I expected from you, my lord." "But your ladyship says there is a hope of duty and love being compatible. Would Lady Kildangan ever consent?" She looked much disturbed.
To say that any thing short of direct moral advantage could, by any possibility, accrue to any living creature by the presentation of her ladyship in a horizontal, instead of a perpendicular position, is to assert that Virtue is a question of posture, and that Respectability ceases to assert itself when it ceases to appear in morning or evening dress. Will any body be bold enough to say that?
But I couldn't let your Ladyship carry sticks for the like o' me. I hope I know me place better. If your Ladyship was to give me a hoosh up wid them? My back's not too bent if only they was to be tied in a bundle." She performed a series of little dips which would have made Lady O'Gara smile at another time. "The sticks are very light," she said. "Supposing we share the burden?
"I have heard them say so, too, my lady," said the girl, quietly "but they must be very stupid to say it, for your ladyship is a beauty, and I am a poor, plain creature." "Not at all, Phoebe," said the little lady, superbly; "you are like me, and your features are very nice; it is only color that you want.

If your neighbour, the duke, had received me, I should have sent it from thence.
I can send them out from Paris, if you like; but no doubt you'll prefer to have my engagement with you to come to an end to-day. Mr. Stokes has driven the car, and can again." "Not if I have anything to say about it," murmured her ladyship. "Scattering the poor thing's teeth all over the place!"
Her ladyship had much of the French manner a dainty dame with long thin face and bottle shoulders, attired always in Saxon fashion, and indulgent in what I then thought a wholesome levity, that made up for the Gruamach husband. And she thought him, honestly, the handsomest and noblest in the world, though she rallied him for his overmuch sobriety of deportment.
"I couldn't make out what was wrong till I was undressing." "And the real one never turned up?" "I don't think she can have.

Fortunately I remembered to tell her about the new chambermaid. I was rather uneasy about the girl, as a matter of fact.

"Stay, Marriott," said Lady Delacour, and she placed herself between the angry waiting-maid and the door.
