Porter meant it enough to be interested in the project, at any rate, for later the two men dined together, and they discussed arrangements and expedients all the evening. Derby went to the Palazzo Sansevero the next day, but again he had much to talk over with the prince, and saw little of Nina.
We ``turned out'' every morning with the first signs of daylight, and allowing a short time, at about eight o'clock, for breakfast, generally got through our labor between one and two o'clock, when we dined, and had the rest of the time to ourselves, until just before sundown, when we beat the dry hides and put them in the house, and covered over all the others.
Mr Jones was rather earlier than the time appointed, and earlier than the lady; whose arrival was hindered, not only by the distance of the place where she dined, but by some other cross accidents very vexatious to one in her situation of mind.
In no instance, during my former visits to London, did I ever meet with such general attention and respect on all sides. Lady Louisa Stuart dined also Wright and Mr. and Mrs. Christie. Dr. and Mrs. Hughes came in the evening; so ended pleasantly our last night in London. Left London after a comfortable breakfast, and an adieu to the Lockhart family.
He thus described the interview in a letter to Josephine: "I have had to be on my guard against her efforts to oblige me to some concessions for her husband; but I have been gallant, and have held to my policy." This was only too clear on the following day, when the Queen again dined with the sovereigns.
In a short time the King dined in Madame de Maintenon's apartments once or twice a week, and had music there. And all this, as I have remarked, with the corpse of the Dauphin and that of the Dauphine still above ground. The gap left by the death of the Dauphine could not, however, be easily filled up.
Laine, the French Consul, and his lady, who all invited me to go with them, but I pleaded business, and was set down, doubtless, for a Goth, as I deserved. However, I got my proofs settled before dinner-time, and began to pack up books, etc. I dined at John Murray's, and met, amongst others, Mr. Schutze, the brother-in-law of poor George Ellis.
The other was the artificers having dined for the first time upon the rock, their dinner being cooked on board of the yacht, and sent to them by one of the boats.
Dicky made a place for the man near me, and signalled the waiter. "I know you have dined," he said, courteously, "but you'll at least have coffee and a cordial with us, will you not?" "Thank you," Mr. Gordon said, in a deep, rich voice, "I have not yet had coffee. If you will be so kind, I should like a little apricot brandy instead of a cordial."
If his father, a pettifogging provincial lawyer, who had formerly dined in the Latin Quarter when in Paris, who had remarked every evening when putting on a white tie that he looked as fine as if he were going to a wedding if he had been able to accumulate an enormous fortune, and to become thereby a power in the republic; if he had been able to obtain in marriage a young lady, one of whose ancestors had fallen at Marignano, what an important personage little Raoul might become.
