The lady's name, according to the advertisement, was Ormond." "Ormond!" repeated Lady Delacour, looking eagerly at Belinda: "was not that the name Sir Philip Baddely mentioned to us you remember?" "Yes, Ormond was the name, as well as I recollect," said Belinda, with a degree of steady composure that provoked her ladyship. "Go on, Marriott."
The next morning they went together to Mrs. Delacour's. In their way thither, Belinda, to divert her own thoughts, and to rouse Lady Delacour from the profound and unnatural silence into which she had fallen, petitioned her to finish the history of Sir Philip Baddely, the dog, Miss Annabella Luttridge, and her billet-doux.
Fighting that duel about her with Sir Philip Baddely settled his love so he is gone to Germany, and she is left to wear the willow, which, you see, becomes her as well as everything else. Did she eat any dinner, ma'am? you sat next her." "Yes; more than I did, I am sure." "Very extraordinary! Then perhaps Sir Philip Baddely's on again Lord bless me, what a match would that be for her! Why, Mrs.
She confessed her own absurd jealousy, explained how it had been excited by the artifices of Champfort and Sir Philip Baddely, how slight circumstances had worked her mind up almost to frenzy.
The dog, unconscious of his dignity as an ambassador, or rather as a charge d'affaires, set out on his way home. As he was crossing Berkeley-square he was met by Sir Philip Baddely and his dog. The baronet's insolent favourite bit the black's heels. Juba, the dog, resented the injury immediately, and a furious combat ensued. In the height of the battle Juba's collar fell off.
Will you do me the honour, madam, to let me know your particular objections to Sir Philip Baddely?" "My objections," said Belinda, "cannot be obviated, and therefore it would be useless to state them." "Nay, pray, ma'am, do me the favour I only ask for information sake is it to Sir Philip Baddely's fortune, 15,000l. a year, you object, or to his family, or to his person?
Sir Philip Baddely was not the man to frighten him; but this Mr. Vincent, by all accounts, is just the thing." "And do you imagine that I could use Mr. Vincent so ill?-And can you think me capable of such double dealing?" "Oh! in love and war, you know, all stratagems are allowable.
Stanhope most dreaded to leave Lady Delacour's house and all its advantages. As to Sir Philip Baddely, Belinda never thought of him from the moment she read her aunt's letter, till after she had left her ladyship; her mind was firmly decided upon this subject; yet she could not help fearing that her aunt would not understand her reasons, or approve her conduct.

"Have you been much pleased with the pictures, gentlemen?" said Lady Delacour, as she passed them.
Will this do? Or, we may conclude, if you like it better, with a characteristic letter of congratulation from Mrs. Stanhope to her dearest niece, Belinda, acknowledging that she was wrong to quarrel with her for refusing Sir Philip Baddely, and giving her infinite credit for that admirable management of Clarence Hervey, which she hopes will continue through life."
