They were, however, doomed to disappointment, for, although the day was fine, the attendance numerous and brilliant beyond precedent, Lord Culloden would have "no popery." Lord Carisbrooke, who was a ritualist, murmured, and was encouraged in his resistance by Lady Clanmorne and a party, but, as the Duke of Brecon was high and dry, there was a want of united action, and Lord Culloden had his way.

And unquestionably it is a most striking countenance: that profound brow and those large deep eyes and then her figure is so fine; but, to tell you the truth, Miss Arundel is a person I never could make out." "I wonder she does not marry," said Lothair. "She is very difficult," said Lady Clanmorne. "Perhaps, too, she is of your opinion about marriage."

"Among the lower orders, if we may judge from the newspapers, they are always killing their wives, and in our class we get rid of them in a more polished way, or they get rid of us." "You quite astonish me with such sentiments," said Lady Clanmorne. "What would Lady St. Jerome think if she heard you, who told me the other day that she believed you to be a faultless character?

He may please the duchess, but I cannot say the Duke of Brecon is a sort of man I admire." "Well, he is no great favorite of mine," said Lady Clanmorne; "I think him overbearing and selfish, and I should not like at all to be his wife." "What do you think of Lady Corisande?" said Lothair. "I admire her more than any girl in society, and I think she will be thrown away on the Duke of Brecon.

"Ah!" said Lothair, "I have been abroad and am very deficient in these matters. But I was travelling with the lady's brother, and he has never yet told me that his sister was going to be married." "There is no doubt about that," said Lady Clanmorne.

"I think Lady Flora will make an excellent Lady Carisbrooke. He is not quite as tall as she is, but he is a man of inches. And now for Lady Grizell." "My powers of divination are quite exhausted," said Miss Arundel. "Well, I will not keep you in suspense," said Lady Clanmorne. "Lady Grizell is to be Duchess of Brecon." "Duchess of Brecon!" exclaimed both Miss Arundel and Lady St. Jerome.
