It was not her being at Ritz's that surprised him. The fact that she was chronically hard up, and had once or twice lately been so brutally confronted with the consequences as to accept indeed solicit a loan of five pounds from him: this circumstance, as Garnett knew, would never be allowed to affect the general tenor of her existence.

As for an establishment, I shall make my peace with the king, and will solicit him to make her one of the ladies of the bed-chamber to the queen: this he will grant me.
