It's too late for rooks," said Sir Thorald, pouring out champagne-cup for Barbara Lisle. "I don't know where Jack went," said Dorothy. "He heard one of the keepers complain of the hawks, so, I suppose, he took a gun. I wonder why that strange Lorraine de Nesville doesn't come to call. I am simply dying to see her." "I saw her once," observed Sir Thorald. "You generally do," added his wife.
The girls could hear talk of champagne-cup and curry, and suddenly a voice sounded which made them look at each other. "That is Mrs. Campbell," said Hope. "What is she doing here?" As she spoke some of the party began to descend. A man's voice, with a drawling accent, made some remark about its being "a beastly hole," and another, of a heartier bass tone added, "You've hit it, Campbell.
The supercilious youth had been, getting a drink "all comfy" on his own account, and his little stiff moustache was still wet with Jimmy's champagne-cup above the atrocious smile he met us with. He asked us if we'd seen the drawing-room. We said we hadn't, and he advised us to go up and look at it at once, before anybody else did.
Why should pâté de foie gras and champagne-cup in the tent be so unequally distributed?

We had come early with the idea of making ourselves useful, if necessary; but there was hardly anybody there yet, only two or three guests drinking coffee or champagne-cup at the long table under the windows, and Jimmy, who stood in the middle of his Tudor hall, talking to one of the confraternity, and rocking himself gently from his toes to his heels and from his heels to his toes again, as a sign that he was not in the least elated, but only at his ease.
It would be sweet if you'd come down and help us now." We went down, and the house-warming began. It was Jimmy who told us what our business was. If we couldn't break it we must do what we could to help recovery. He had seen desperate cases yield to champagne-cup administered during the first paroxysm.
However, I am invited to lunch with the 4th at Goodwood. They are going to have a spread under the trees, so I shall be able to compare notes about the champagne-cup. I know two other men in the 4th; Hopkins and Lambert; do you know them?" and so on, until pretty well half the army list and all the luncheon-giving regiments in the service had been passed under review.
