Ashburn announced lugubriously to all whom it might concern that she had eaten no lunch; Martha mentioned that a Miss Hornblower had called that afternoon which produced no sensation, though Cuthbert seemed for a moment inclined to ask who Miss Hornblower might happen to be, till he remembered in time that he really did not care, and saved himself the trouble. Mrs.
'I'll go, she said. 'I must get rid of everybody as soon as I decently can this shocking business has completely upset me. Mark and Vincent were standing together at the door, and as she passed out she visited some of her pent-up displeasure upon them. 'Well, Mr. Ashburn and Mr.
Martha tittered acidly at this light badinage, but it brought a pained look into Trixie's large brown eyes, who thought it was a shame that poor Mark should never be allowed to hear the last of his Cambridge fiasco. Even Mrs. Ashburn seemed anxious to shield Mark.
I add the following extracts from a letter of Major P. M.

Ashburn replied, as he turned to walk away, that he thought he could face all storms of that kind without flinching. "Give me the 'Post, papa," said Margaret, running to the door to meet her father when she saw him coming.
I wonder if Mr. Ashburn can. Mr. Ashburn, after a short period of enforced silence spent in uncharitable feelings respecting fair-haired Mr. Pidgely, had been suddenly attacked by the lady on his left, a plump lady with queer comic inflections in her voice, the least touch of brogue, and a reputation for daring originality.
