Our little fashionable world has got itself arrayed in its best satin and is in a flutter. Carriages, with servants in snobby coats, beset the doors of the theatre.
Then, more dreamily still, "His middle name was Birchard." "I know why you think he's conceited," Mary went on, warming up to the never-ending pleasure of analysis, "but it's because he's really diffident.

She had wanted him at home, but it was very nice to know that his tutor was so fond of him. He went out with a wink at Imogen, saying: "I say, Mother, could I have two plover's eggs when I come in? cook's got some. They top up so jolly well. Oh! and look here have you any money? I had to borrow a fiver from old Snobby."
Sarah Cooper is at the Branch with her snobby little husband and her extravagant toilettes; I'm not going to be patronized by her. And Jack and his learned lady are at Saratoga. I don't want to make Mrs. Warner jealous, but I'm afraid I couldn't help it. I think you had better keep me out of temptation." "Where must we go, then?"
