"Stunning fellow who made that run!" said the elder woman presently. "Who is he, dear?" "That's Anthony!" said Sammy, shortly, not to be won. "Anthony!" Mrs. Bond's tone was all affectionate interest. She put up her lorgnette. "Well, bless his heart! Isn't he good to look at!" she said. "He's all hot and dirty now," Sammy said, relenting a little.

And then, relenting at the sight of Harry's obvious confusion, "I know you mean nothing of the sort," she added; "and I like your looks; but I think nothing of your Lady Vandeleur. Oh, these mistresses!" she cried.
But there was no sign of relenting in that young lady. She was, indeed, too deeply indignant, and, moreover, had immersed herself in her work.
