Botibol is simpering on fresh arrivals; the individual at the door is roaring out their names; poor Cacafogo is quavering away in the music-room, under the impression that he will be LANCE in the world by singing inaudibly here.
Why the deuce should Mrs. Botibol blow me a kiss? I wouldn't kiss her for the world. Why do I grin when I see her, as if I was delighted? Am I? I don't care a straw for Mrs. Botibol.

"Fair, ay, peerless fair; but what more, Philibert? Not false?
And to think that there are people who, after having been to Botibol on Wednesday, will go to Clutterbuck on Friday! In England Dinner-giving Snobs occupy a very important place in society, and the task of describing them is tremendous.
