"Talking of clothes," says Captain Marryatt at the moment, "did you ever see anything like Gillam's get up?" "Gillam? Is that Mrs. Bethune's partner?" "Yes. Just look at his trousers, his diamonds! How can Mrs. Bethune stand it all?"

He is always a joy to her, this absurd young man, who, in spite of barbs and shafts, follows at her chariot wheels with a determination worthy of a better cause. Gower, who also had heard that quiet "No," had come instantly forward, and entreated Tita to blindfold him.

Lady Selton is pretty in a way but " "Then you prefer the woman who is not devoted to her husband?" "I don't see how that argument comes in," says he quickly. "Some husbands are are " "Quite true.
