Let me introduce her. But haven't we met before?" "Perhaps during my first husband's lifetime. I was Mrs. Bellington Strange." "Mrs. P. Bellington Strange? Your husband was a dear friend of mine when we were both young a good man, if ever there was one; the best in the world! I am so glad to see you again. Ah my dear, you remember my speaking of Mrs. Strange?"
In fact, people say that he used to be plain Peter B. Strange till he married Eveleth, and she made him drop the Peter and blossom out in the Bellington, so that he could seem to have a social as well as a financial history.
She was always so original, and did things from such a high motive, that afterwards, when we were all settled, I was perfectly thunderstruck at her marrying old Bellington Strange, who was twice her age and had nothing but his money; he was not related to the New York Bellingtons at all, and nobody knows how he got the name; nobody ever heard of the Stranges.
"MY DEAR MR. HOMOS, Will you give me the pleasure of your company at dinner, on Thanksgiving-day, at eight o'clock, very informally. My friend, Mrs. Bellington Strange, has unexpectedly returned from Europe within the week, and I am asking a few friends, whom I can trust to excuse this very short notice, to meet her. With Mr. Makely's best regards, Yours cordially, DOROTHEA MAKELY.
Bellington Strange was back from Europe; then I could show you a model house. I mean to take you there, as soon as she gets home. She's a kind of Altrurian herself, you know. She was my dearest friend at school, and it almost broke my heart when she married Mr. Strange, so much older, and her inferior in every way. But she's got his money now, and oh, the good she does do with it!
