And he possessed that peculiar charm, common to Lord Dawne and others of their set, which came of giving the whole of their attention to the person with whom they were conversing for the moment.
And I don't see why I should be so either entirely, you know. If I had been quite horrid, I should not have appreciated you, and the Tenor and Uncle Dawne and Dr. Galbraith oh, dear! Why is it, when good men are so scarce, that I should know so many, and yet be tormented with the further knowledge that you are all exceptional, and crime and misery continue because it is so?
Lord Dawne gave her a second glance, and seemed a little sad; and Ideala went up to her and kissed her, and then looked into her face for a moment very gravely, making her feel as if she were on the eve of something momentous. But Diavolo would not look at her a second time. One glimpse had been enough for him, and during the whole of dinner he never raised his eyes.
"Do you know her widowed sister, Lady Claudia Beaumont?" "Yes," "And their brother, Lord Dawne?" "Yes well. He and I were 'chums' at Harrow and Oxford, and a common devotion to the same social subjects has kept us together since." "He is a man of most charming manners," she said thoughtfully. "He is," I answered cordially. "I know no one else so fastidiously refined, without being a prig."

"Oh, dear, poor Lady Adeline!" Mrs. Beale exclaimed. Lord Dawne smiled again, and changed the subject. "Did you feel the storm much here?" he asked. "My trees have suffered a great deal, I am sorry to say." "Ah, that reminds me," Mrs. Beale began. "A very strange and solemn thing happened on the day of the storm; have you heard of it, Olive?" "No," Mrs. Orton Beg answered with interest.
