Now, on no spirit had the influence of Coningsby, already the favourite, and soon probably to become the idol, of the school, fallen more effectually than on that of Millbank, though it was an influence that no one could suspect except its votary or its victim.

'Mr. Millbank has lately purchased a very beautiful place in the county. I became acquainted with Hellingsley when staying at my grandfather's.
'I hope I shall see him soon, said Millbank, 'somehow or other. 'I will tell him to come, said Buckhurst. 'Oh! no, no, don't tell him to come, said Millbank. 'Don't bore him.
