Each evanescent picture touched the vision-building faculty in Selden, leading him so far down the vistas of fancy that even Gerty Farish's running commentary "Oh, how lovely Lulu Melson looks!" or: "That must be Kate Corby, to the right there, in purple" did not break the spell of the illusion.
Mallard and Chumley Potts, Captain Abrane, Sir Meeson Corby, Lord Brailstone, were plucked at and rattled, put to the blush, by a pursuit of inquiries conducted with beaks. High-nosed dames will surpass eminent judges in their temerity on the border-line where Ahem sounds the warning note to curtained decency. The courtly M. de St. Ombre had to stand confused.
The prospect delighted Lord Fleetwood. He sang notes from the deep chest, flaunting like an opera brigand, and contemplating his wretched satellite's indecision with brimming amusement. 'Remember, we fight for our money. I carry mine, he said to Woodseer. 'Wouldn't it be expedient, Fleetwood... Sir Meeson suggested a treasurer in the person of himself. 'Not a florin, Corby!
William and Lady Ascot were with him all day. William, dear fellow, used to sit on a footstool and read the "Times" to him. "Tell me something," said Lord Ascot. "Have you any love left for her yet?"

Sir Meeson Corby produced an aspect of the word 'if, so perkily, that the dejected Captain Abrane laughed outright and gave him double reason to fret for Lord Fleetwood's arrival, by saying: 'If he hangs off much longer, I shall have to come on you for another fifty.
"But the lesson you gave me was worth bay Salkeld," for so I had named my horse, after a great English house on the Border who dwell at the Castle of Corby. "I will do thee a good turn," he said. "You crave to see this Puzel, ere they put on her the high witch's cap for her hellward journey."
"The House?" "Yes, m'm. I don't know what he means," faltered the messenger, whose memory did not embrace the period when such announcements were a daily part of the domestic routine. Miss Anson glanced at the proffered card. The name it bore Mr. George Corby was unknown to her, but the blood rose to her languid cheek.
