The two or three days had expanded into two or three weeks, and Tancred continued to call daily on Lady Bertie and Bellair, to say farewell. It was not wonderful: she was the only person in London who understood him; so she delicately intimated, so he profoundly felt. They had the same ideas; they must have the same idiosyncrasy.
Lady Bellair held out to the dazzled vision of Mrs. Montgomery Floyd a brilliant perspective of the noble lords and wealthy squires whose splendid seats, under the auspices of Lady Bellair, they were to make their resting-places during their progress; and in time Lady Bellair, who had a particular fancy for her own carriage, proposed that her servants should travel in that of Mrs.
"I'll go and fetch Wallis," said the man, and closing the door, left the hall. Now this Wallis had been a fellow servant of Malcolm's at Lossie House, but he did not know that he had gone with Lady Bellair when she took Florimel away: almost everyone had left at the same time. He was now glad indeed to learn that there was one amongst the servants who knew him.
These wonderful seventy years indeed had passed to Lady Bellair like one of those very masked balls in which she had formerly sparkled; she had lived in a perpetual crowd of strange and brilliant characters.
"L'Ouverture thinks," said Toussaint, who heard her question, "that this is still the safest place for the brave women who keep up his heart by their cheerful faces. He is ashamed that they have been negligently guarded. It shall not happen again." He was just departing for the Plateaux. As he went out he said to his wife, while he cast a look of tender compassion upon Madame Bellair

His wife was at work and singing to her child under the shadow of the colonnade once an erection of great beauty, but now blackened by fire, and at one end crumbling into ruins. "Minerve!" cried Madame, on seeing her. "Deesha is her name," said Bellair, smiling. "Oh, you call her by her native name! Would we all knew our African names, as you know hers! Deesha!"
"Why, Uncle, you have explained the reason; it was exactly because she said I was dull that I was resolved to convict her in an untruth." "Well, now, there is some sense in that, boy; always contradict ill report by personal merit. But what think you of her ladyship? 'Gad, you know what old Bellair said of Emilia. 'Make much of her: she's one of the best of your acquaintance.
He was my son's schoolfellow. 'Captain Armine is a near neighbour of ours, said Mr. Temple. 'Oh! you know him, said Lady Bellair. 'Is not he charming? 'Are you certain he is going to be married to Miss Grandison? enquired Mr. Temple. 'Oh! there is no doubt in the world, said Mrs. Montgomery Floyd. 'Everything is quite settled.
"I am on pretty much the same business that you are, to-night." Then, taking a big puff, "I have been to Bellair, like yourself." "The deuce you have!" "Yes; how did your business prosper?" Jarvis eyed him sharply. "Perhaps you know already." "Perhaps I do. You have not got to look for stolen diamonds, have you?" Jarvis laughed derisively. "Or stolen money?" pursued Clarence.
