The richness of the available material made this especially difficult, comprising as it did the record of recent campaigns in Afghanistan, as well as the opinions of those who, like Vambery, Veniukoff, Rawlinson, Napier, and Cust, are authorities upon Asiatic topics. Seldom when two gladiators, armed and stripped, enter the arena does a doubt exist as to their purpose.
Between the lights, on a winter's evening, we were allowed to do what we pleased for twenty minutes, and we used to sit down on the rug before the fire, and talk." "Mrs. Cust, also?" asked Lionel. "Not Mrs. Cust; you are laughing at me. If she came in, and saw us, she would say we were too old to sit there, and should be better on chairs. But we liked the rug best."
Harry Cust, to whom my brother frequently refers in his letters, was the nephew of Lady Brownlow, and a great friend of Richard's. At that time Cust was the Conservative nominee for Parliament from Lincolnshire, and Richard took a most active part in the campaign.
All the ecclesiastical lights of England in knee-breeches were there, and the American Minister and Phillips Brooks. It was quite novel and fun. Lots of love. I have all the money I want. With Cust properly elected, Richard and I returned to the Albany and settled down to enjoy London from many angles.
There's a chance even for thee after this, Nance Mockridge." The remark was addressed to a woman who stood behind his shoulder the same who had exhibited Henchard's bad bread in public when Elizabeth and her mother entered Casterbridge.

Here be I, his former master, working for him as man, and he the man standing as master, with my house and my furniture and my what-you-may-call wife all his own." He repeated these things a hundred times a day.
