She felt vaguely that the Jewish minister should not so unquestioningly have accorded the scamp the privileges of the hymeneal canopy. Some lustral rite seemed necessary to purify him of his Christian conjunction. And the memory of Fanny was still outraged by this burying of her, so to speak, under layers of successive wives.
"It's all true," said he, good-naturedly; "my father and I don't get on well together, and I came to make a name in London. But for all you know, Deborah, I may be a scamp." "That you are not," she burst out.
"And now that your Chamberlain turns out a greater scamp than I thought him, I'm foolish enough to be sorry for him." "And so am I," said the Duke, and looked about the shelves of books lining the room.
"It's been a dull day for him, and now he'll have a pleasant evening, only he'll miss you." "I call it very inconsiderate of the little scamp," observed Geoff. "He doesn't know but that he's leaving you to spend the evening quite alone." "Oh, boys don't think of things like that." "Boys ought to, then. However, I can stand his absence, if you can!"
