Yes, that story increased my admiration for Lord Castleton; it showed me with what forethought and earnest sense of responsibility he had undertaken the charge of a life, the guidance of a character yet undeveloped; it lastingly acquitted him of the levity that had been attributed to Sedley Beaudesert.
Trevanion have drawn their chairs close to each other in the middle of the room; Sir Sedley Beaudesert leans against the wall near the window, and behind my mother, who looks prettier and more pleased than usual since her Austin has his old friends about him; and I, leaning my elbow on the table and my chin upon my hand, am gazing with great admiration on Sir Sedley Beaudesert.
Nothing more conduces to longevity than a saffron bag, provided always it is worn at the " "Sisty, my thimble!" said my mother. "You laugh at us justly," said Beaudesert, smiling; "and the same remedy, I dare say, would cure us both." "Yes," said my father, "there is no doubt of that.
Luckily, I bethought myself of Sir Sedley Beaudesert, who could scarcely fail to give me the information required, and who, at all events, might recommend to me some other lawyer. So to him I went. I found Sir Sedley at breakfast with a young gentleman who seemed about twenty.
"What on earth do you think that they are to do with themselves?" But all the bevy were true to her. Lady Amelia Beaudesert was a difficulty.
Oh, rare specimen of a race fast decaying, specimen of the true fine gentleman, ere the word "dandy" was known, and before "exquisite" became a noun substantive, let me here pause to describe thee! Sir Sedley Beaudesert was the contemporary of Trevanion and my father; but without affecting to be young, he still seemed so.
He has received two cups of tea from my mother's fair hand; he has made himself at home. With Mr. Trevanion has come another friend of my father's, whom he has not seen since he left college, Sir Sedley Beaudesert. Now, you must understand that it is a warm night, a little after nine o'clock, a night between departing summer and approaching autumn.
"Don't say any such thing; let me once more hear the grateful sound of Sedley Beaudesert. Shut the door, Thomas to Gracechurch Street, Messrs. Fudge & Fidget." The carriage drove on. "A sad affliction has befallen me," said the marquis, "and none sympathize with me!" "Yet all, even unacquainted with the late lord, must have felt shocked at the death of one so young and so full of promise."
Of all the conquests ever made by Sedley Beaudesert, when the two fairest dames of the Faubourg are said to have fought for his smiles in the Bois de Boulogne, no conquest ever cost him such pains, or so tasked his knowledge of women, as that of his wife after marriage.
Among all privileged spies, a lady's-maid has the highest privileges; it is she who bathes Lady Theresa's eyes with eau-de-cologne after her ladyship's quarrel with the colonel; it is she who administers sal-volatile to Miss Fanny when Count Beaudesert, of the Blues, has jilted her. She has a hundred methods for the finding out of her mistress' secrets.
