And my mother do say Mr. Arundel he be going to marry a fine lady, and great doings at the Abbey, no doubt. And mother do say, too, that Captain Tris will be marrying you.
"Oh," said Mrs. Pompley, in unaffected surprise, "that is the nephew of the rich Vulgarian I was telling you of this morning." "Ah! and you say that he is Mr. Arundel's heir?" "Avenel not Arundel my sweet friend." "Avenel is not a bad name," said Mrs. M'Catchley. "But is the uncle really so rich?"
"Thank you, I don't dance the Polka," she replied; and as she spoke quick flashes of thought crossed her thus "I have not been introduced to him I have met him before how horrid of Tressilian's face to talk of polkas ha! it is Edmund!"
