They often motored in the afternoon to various resorts not too far distant, and there took tea; and for two whole days it had been wet and, except at meals, the ladies had lain perdues. However fate was kind on a Saturday morning, and allowed Lord Fordyce to chance upon Mrs. Howard, right up at the Belvedere in the far woods, looking over the valley.
He gave them extraordinary but quite explicit instructions to lay breakfast for two in the belvedere study and then to confine themselves to the basement and ground-floor. Then he continued to pace the dining-room until the morning's paper came.

The Apollo Belvedere is no fool; the murderers in the Chamber of Horrors at Madame Tussaud's are for the most part no beauties. What we all fall in love with, then, as a race, is in most cases efficiency and ability.
But mother is dreadfully set in her ideas of names, and she doesn't like it because people call me Belvy; but they just naturally will." "Belvedere, did you ever hear of the three little blue mice" Jack was leaning toward her with an air of fascinating mystery "that thought they could hide in the white clover from the white cat that had two black stripes on her back?"

Come down I say come, descend from your Belvedere the farce is played out, and your legs are all right. You are a rank coward! however, no one is aware of it but me. Don't let others see it!" and in a minute Adolphe was at my side.
