She has invited us to a card-party for tomorrow; card-parties are evidently not gay enough to interfere with tears. CUBA, February. DEAR MAMA, Well, we are really going to return! As usual, I have no more clothes, and I certainly will not be bothered to have anything made here.
"Why," said I, with some pride, "I ought to know it, seeing that my mother's brother, Sir Charles Tregellis, was the nearest friend of Lord Avon, and was at this card-party when the thing happened. I heard the vicar and my mother talking about it last week, and it was all so clear to me that I might have been there when the murder was done."
It was arranged that Polly should drive out with him next day to Yarangobilly, by way of Dandaloo; while for the evening after they plotted a card-party, at which John might come to grips with Archdeacon Long. John expected to find the reverend gentleman a hard nut to crack, their views on the subject of a state aid to religion being diametrically opposed.
The truth was he had forgotten his card-party when he had made his promise to Jerome, and then he had forgotten his promise to Jerome in thinking of his card-party, and little Lucina on her way to bed had just brought it to mind by asking when he was going. She had heard the promise, and had not forgotten. "By the Lord Harry!" said the Squire, for he heard his friends down-stairs.

After four o'clock, when he left his office, until midnight, he amused himself; some party of pleasure had usually been arranged the night before, a good dinner, a card-party, a supper by some one or other of the set. Philippe was in his element. This carnival, which lasted eighteen months, was not altogether without its troubles.
Nothing could be more piquant, alert, chivalrous in short, worthy of a Frenchman than the departure of your hero for the war after that dramatic card-party, which was also a battle and what a battle! where, at the end of the conflict, he left his all upon the green cloth.
"Thank you," and both receivers were hung up. In response to my ring the maid ushered me into a lovely reception-room, where Mrs. S soon appeared in a high state of nervous excitement. "You have greatly upset me, Mrs. Roberts," she said. "Kindly be brief. To your point at once. I have much to do, also must dress before luncheon, for our card-party at Mrs. -'s this afternoon." "Mrs.
This she was apt to do in a sentinel-guarded arbor to which she would go from the palace, carrying despatches and papers in a tray slung by a cord round her neck. Vespers at six, an evening card-party, supper, a walk at eight, and then sleep. After the death of Francis she made her son Joseph joint-ruler, but soon found herself obliged to limit his authority to the care of the army.
This noble mansion was gambled away at a card-party when the stakes were high and the players were the third Duke, grandfather of the eccentric peer, and Earl Harcourt. Thus it came into possession of the Bentincks. During the occupancy of the fifth Duke, the curious freaks of building for which he was so famous at Welbeck were repeated at Harcourt House.
