Holmes led the way into the feed store, and we met the proprietor, who strongly reminded me of Inspector Letstrayed and Egbert Bunbury by his general air of sleepy incompetence.
Bunbury, in his capacity of prosecuting attorney, ran his fingers through his hair in some embarrassment, for he was regretting now that he had made such a fuss. Miss Hobson thus assailed by an underling, spun round and dropped the lip-stick, which was neatly retrieved by the assiduous Mr. Cracknell. Mr. Cracknell had his limitations, but he was rather good at picking up lip-sticks. "What's that?
She regarded him curiously from the depths of her wicker chair. "Bunbury, do you remember when we were engaged?" He grinned. "Rather. I wouldn't mind being it again." "Engaged?" "Sure thing. Will you take me on again, Geraldine?" "I thought you cared for Sylvia Quest." "I do, but I can stop it." She still regarded him with brown-eyed curiosity. "Didn't you really tire of our engagement?"
I do not know the lady's name distinctly, but I am certain I have heard the beautiful Lady Sarah Bunbury mentioned by the Princesse de Lamballe as having received particular attention from the Queen; for the Princess had heard much about this lady and "a certain great personage" in England; but, on discovering her acquaintance with the Duc de Lauzun, Her Majesty withdrew from the intimacy, though not soon enough to prevent its having given food for scandal.
And from Hogarth through Sandby and Sayer and Woodward to Henry William Bunbury, and onwards to that giant of political satire, James Gillray, and his vigorous contemporary Thomas Rowlandson, what a feast of material is spread before us; what an insight we may gain, not only into costume, manners, social life, but into the detailed political development of a fertile and fascinating period of history.

He also married an English lady in 1825 Lydia Bunbury. Other prose works are 'Stello' , in the manner of Sterne and Diderot, and 'Servitude et Grandeur militaire' , the language of which is as caustic as that of Merimee.
* Carlisle and Byron were not only guardian and ward, but were nearly related; it is a singular fact that Carlisle declined to introduce him in the house of Lords. Selwyn's letters open with the departure of Lord Carlisle for the Continent. The young peer was then not quite twenty, but had fallen desperately in love with Lady Sarah Bunbury.
One of the same amount to Sir Charles Bunbury, Baronet. Five hundred guineas to each of my executors; and to each of these four a mourning ring. 'Certainly, sir. All very noble gifts! And Mr. Fishwick smacked his lips. For a moment Sir George looked his offence; then seeing that the attorney's ecstasy was real and unaffected, he smiled.
"Well, I hope so, Holmes; only I can't help thinking what a supreme chump that Earl is for keeping those five servants of his from whom you extracted the first seven cuff-buttons, Yensen, Thorneycroft, Galetchkoff, Bunbury, and Xanthopoulos!" I said; "because at any time they are liable to steal the darned cuff-buttons again.
