"You paint them to the life, my dear Lady St Julians," said Lady Deloraine laughing; "but with such knowledge and such powers, why did you not save our boroughs?" "We had lost our heads, then, I must confess," said Lady St Julians.
Then it was agreed that the family mansion should be inhabited for the season by the family; and to-night Arabella was receiving all that great world of which she herself was a distinguished ornament.
