Her old friend, Sir Hugh Pryse, was particularly attentive, and talked to her of Miss Gwynne; and Captain Dancy was as much devoted to her abroad as at home.
After they have sufficiently admired Netta's dress, and put the finishing touches to it, Miss Simpson informs Netta of her duty as bride elect. 'Of course, my dear, papa will take you to the hymeneal altar, and our friend Captain Dancy will take me. 'Oh! I hope there is no other stranger, gasps Netta.
Captain Dancy was so entirely his devoted friend, that he gladly gave him the advantage of his superior parts, in return for various favours which Miss Simpson also aided in conferring. Captain Dancy is a tall, fashionable-looking man, with what Miss Simpson and her mamma consider a splendid figure. 'And such a lovely moustache! Miss Simpson usually adds with a sigh.
The three ladies, Captain Dancy and Howel, were the dinner guests at Mr Rice Rice's, the other gentlemen were invited for the dance in the evening. Young Rice Rice had given Owen a lame invitation the previous day, which he had declined; never having been in the habit of visiting him when at home, he did not choose to do so under Howel's countenance.
'By the way, Jenkins, could not Mrs Howel Jenkins get Dancy to give in about that money? She is a prime favourite. 'Mrs Jenkins knows nothing of my money transactions, and certainly would be the last person I should wish to interfere in such a matter. Let us go and post this letter, and then I want to go to Tattersalls.
'Behind her stands a woman holding a book open with both her hands, over whose head is written Spouse of John Clements. 'Next to Mrs Dancy is Sir John More in his robes as one of the justices of the King's Bench, and by him Sir Thomas in his chancellor's robes, and collar of SS, with a rose pendant before.
He heard Netta telling Captain Dancy that her brother had been at sea all his life, and knew nothing of the fashionable world; at which he thought the ham he was eating would have choked him, in his effort to repress a laugh.
Seemingly to all at once came the realization that the destinies of the fight had by the chances of the fight been entrusted to these two men to Dancy and the major and that between them the issue would be settled one way or the other. Still at a half crouch, Dancy's right hand began to steal back under the skirt of his long black coat.
'I shall be able to pay everything next month. I am sure of plenty of money. 'And I suppose you want to get money from your mother to pay bets, or something of the sort? Why won't you tell me? 'Yes; I owe it to your friend Dancy. Perhaps you will help me to pay him. 'He is no friend of mine. I don't like him; but he would do more for me than you would, and is kinder too.
Well, there were plenty of other ladies who let you pay them attention; why was that I wonder? 'I tell you what it is, Netta, I won't allow Dancy to devote himself to you as he does. 'Then you had better tell him so, I ain't going to do it; he's your friend, and if he admires me, I think you ought to be proud of it. 'You did nothing but flirt and giggle with him all the evening.
