"Good man but impracticable," he muttered. "Thinks knowing it is everything.
"You haven't heard his latest, I suppose?" said the doctor, smiling. "What is it?" Sophia asked perfunctorily. "He wants to take to ballooning. It seems he's been up once." Constance made a deprecating noise with her lips. "However, that's not his surprise," the doctor added, smiling again at the floor.
"It's a big word; but it means a low thing. It means that I am after your money." "Oh!" murmured Catherine softly.

A thin woman in a black dress appeared, a woman with a depressed and deprecating expression which was often annoying to Lord Buntingford. It represented somehow an appeal to the sentiment of the spectator for which there was really no sufficient ground. Mrs. Mawson was not a widow, in spite of the Mrs.
