In the drawing-room we pause, and listen to the conversation that is passing between Mr Gwynne, Lady Mary, Colonel and Mrs Gwynne Vaughan, and Sir Hugh Pryse. 'I am so thankful it is over, and that it has all gone off so well, says Lady Mary. 'Really, Lady Mary, says Mr Gwynne, 'great thanks are due to you for the admirable manner in which you managed everything.
'Stop, cousin; I shall not marry you because you are rich, or great, or likely to be as grand as other people though I should like to put them down, just as well as you but because we have loved each other ever since we were little children, and I could not care for any one else not even if Sir Hugh Pryse were to ask me. Howel was both touched and amused.
She is now simpering and blushing and saying pretty nothings between Rowland Prothero and a certain Sir Hugh Pryse, who, on their respective parts, think her a goose, being attracted elsewhere.

Mr. Coates himself was staying at number Gay Street, but was in the habit of breakfasting daily at the York House, where he attracted Mr.

She considered him far more agreeable than her brother Rowland, handsomer and more polished than Sir Hugh Pryse, and much more fashionable than Mr Rice Rice. At Swindon he treated them liberally, and loaded Netta with sweets to take with her to the carriage after she had swallowed her cold chicken and wine.
I secured access, without difficulty, to these files. A whole day I spent in searching the copies issued by this and that journal during the months that Romeo was in Bath.

Each citizen was ready, nay, forward, in taking an active part in all political movements, and the children mimicked their elders.
