"I detest that fellow!" said Lord Borodaile, involuntarily and aloud, as these unwilling truths forced themselves upon his mind. "Whom do you detest?" asked Mr. Percy Bobus, who was lying on the sofa in Lord Borodaile's drawing-room, and admiring a pair of red-heeled shoes which decorated his feet. "That puppy Linden!" said Lord Borodaile, adjusting his cravat.
Lord Borodaile's glance detected the superscription, and before La Meronville could regain the note he had possessed himself of it. "A Monsieur, Monsieur Linden!" said he, coldly, reading the address; "and, pray, how long have you corresponded with that gentleman?" Now La Meronville's situation at that moment was by no means agreeable.
He took every opportunity of cultivating his intimacy, and invariably treated him with a degree of consideration which his knowledge of the world told him was well calculated to gain the good will of his haughty and arrogant acquaintance; but all this was in effectual in conquering Borodaile's coldness and reserve.

"I was determined to call upon you, and be the first to offer my services in this unpleasant affair." Clarence pressed the duke's hand, but made no answer. "Nothing could be so unhandsome as Lord Borodaile's conduct," continued the duke. "I hope you both fence and shoot well. I shall never forgive you, if you do not put an end to that piece of rigidity."
She is prodigiously extravagant; and Borodaile affects to be prodigiously fond: but as there is only a certain fund of affection in the human heart, and all Lord Borodaile's is centred in Lord Borodaile, that cannot really be the case." "Is he jealous of her?" said Clarence. "Not in the least! nor indeed, does she give him any cause.
Borodaile coloured: though always uncivil, he did not like to be excelled in good manners; and therefore replied, that nothing but extreme business at White's could have induced him to prefer his own way to that of Lord St. George. The good-natured peer took Lord Borodaile's arm. It was a natural incident, but it vexed the punctilious viscount that any man should take, not offer, the support.
Clarence pressed forward: the face of the rash aggressor was turned towards him; the features were Lord Borodaile's. He had scarcely time to make this discovery, before Wolfe had recovered himself.
"Ah, quel malheur! then the hock will not be iced enough: Borodaile's looks are the best wine-coolers in the world." "Fie!" cried La Meronville, glancing towards Clarence, "I cannot endure your malevolence; wit makes you very bitter." "Bah! my Lord Duke, you judge of others by yourself." "To be sure I do," cried the duke; "and that is the best way of forming a right judgment.
