She was sure Mary realized how essential it was not to offend the Gorgeous Girl. How dreadful it was for poor Mary. She, Trudy, had cried her old eyes out thinking about it.

"Oh! and it's no mistake, and he's of Raynham Abbey?" Mrs. Berry inquired. Adrian, very much amused, assured her that he was born and bred there. "His father's Sir Austin?" wailed the black-satin bunch from behind her handkerchief. Adrian verified Richard's descent. "Oh, then, what have I been and done!" she cried, and stared blankly at her visitor. "I been and married my baby!
Bless ye both. Who'd 'a thought you was so wilful? you that any one might have taken for one of the silly- softs! You're a pair, my dear! indeed you are! You was made to meet! But we mustn't show him we've been crying. Men don't like it when they're happy. Let's wash our faces and try to bear our lot." So saying the black-satin bunch careened to a renewed deluge.
