So calm and so self-contained was she at dinner that Majendie had an agreeable rebound; he supposed that she had recovered from the abominable encounter, and had put Lady Cayley out of her head like a sensible woman. Edith had received his account of that incident with a gravity that had made him profoundly uncomfortable; and his relief was in proportion to his embarrassment.
The Muse too, the very coquette who had led me into this wilderness, like others of her sex, deserted me in my utmost need, and I should have been reduced to rather an uncomfortable state of dulness, had it not been for the occasional conversation of strangers who chanced to pass the same way. But the characters whom I met with were of a uniform and uninteresting description.
"Why don't you carry your smiting-stone in your fist?" he ended with a frantic whoop. But that whoop was unfortunate, for coming close to the ear of the horse, and being quite unexpected, it startled the stallion extremely. He shied violently. Ugh-lomi suddenly found himself uncomfortable again. He was hanging on to the horse, he found, by one arm and one knee.

"And now," she said, desolately, "I've got to tell them!" She nodded toward the withdrawing-room, where the three candidates were waiting; and Mrs. Delancy understood. "Why don't you write it to them?" she advised. "Whenever I have anything uncomfortable to tell anyone, I always write it.
My maid knew that before I did, and the first night she put me into one of my uncomfortable new gowns she stood off from me and said: "His lordship must be a strange gentleman if he can resist you now." I felt ashamed, yet pleased too, and went downstairs with a certain confidence. The result was disappointing.
