"She's one of the living women of the world." "You are sure you don't mean one of the worldly women?" Mrs. Pagnell rejoiced. "She has to be known to be liked," he owned. "And you were, one hears, among the favoured?" "I can scarcely pretend to that, ma'am." "You were recommended." "Lady Charlotte is devoted to her brother." Mrs. Pagnell's bosom heaved.
