What a little fright she is I never could have supposed she was in your style." "Good gracious," began Loftus, "you didn't think " But Catherine in her sedate voice interrupted him. "Beatrice and I were watching you. I laughed when I saw that expression of tenderness filling your glorious dark eyes, but I think Bee was vexed." "Vexed? No, Kate, surely not vexed?" "I think so, Loftus.
Merillia and this lady looked up when the door opened, and Lady Julia paused midway in a sentence, of which these were the opening words, "The old duke wouldn't make it over, and so poor Loftus has to pay nearly a million to the Chancellor of the Excheq " "How d'you do, Lady Julia? Grannie, I have persuaded my friends, Mr. and Madame Sagittarius, to join us at dinner.
Oh, ho, ho, ho, hoo! what a macaroni! and they laughed heartily over it, and called him 'travelled monkey, and I know not what else. 'Why, I thought Dr. Walsingham designed him for his curate; but what in the wide world brings Dan Loftus to foreign parts "To dance and sing for the Spanish King, and to sing and dance for the Queen of France?"

General Loftus, advancing on the parallel road, heard the firing, and detached the grenadier company of the Antrim militia to the aid of Walpole.
"I have brought you this," she said, "with a warning that you had better not come in to tea. Mr. Gresley has been sighted walking up the drive.
