Caroline was not in this instance a very faithful ally to Vargrave's views and policy. In his singular liaison with Lady Doltimore, the crafty manoeuvrer had committed the vulgar fault of intriguers: he had over-refined and had overreached himself.
Lumley smiled, and changed the conversation; and so agreeable did he make himself, that when the party broke up, and Lumley had just shaken hands with his host, Doltimore came to him, and said in a little confusion, "I think I can put off Legard if if you " "That's delightful! What time shall we start? need not get down much before dinner one o'clock?"
The interview did not serve for that renewal of intimacy which Vargrave appeared to seek, and Maltravers rejoiced when the placeman took his departure. Lumley, who was about to pay a morning visit to Lord Doltimore, had borrowed Mr.
She did not; and, unable to constrain his emotions, and reply to the small-talk of Lord Doltimore, he abruptly quitted the box. When the opera was over, Maltravers offered his arm to Evelyn; she accepted it, and then she looked round for Legard. He was gone. O Fate! O Heaven! what have ye then decreed? SOPHOCLES: Oed. Tyr. 738.
But what does Doltimore suspect? "I know not; it has been put into his head. Paris is so full of slander. But, Vargrave Lumley I tremble, I shudder with terror, if ever Doltimore should discover " "Pooh! pooh! Our conduct at Paris has been most guarded, most discreet.

He lazily broke the seal, ran his eye carelessly over its few blotted words of remorse and alarm, and threw it down again with a contemptuous "pshaw!" Thus unequally are the sorrows of a guilty tie felt by the man of the world and the woman of society!
"But you surely have no intention of selling Burleigh?" said Evelyn, anxiously. "I fear I do not know my own mind." "Well," said Cleveland, "here comes your tempter. Lord Doltimore, let me introduce Mr. Maltravers." Lord Doltimore bowed. "Been admiring your horses, Mr. Maltravers. I never saw anything so perfect as the black one; may I ask where you bought him?"
Not so his friend, Lord Doltimore, who has a little too much of the green-room lounge and French cafe manner for my taste." "Doltimore, Legard, names new to me; I never met them at the rectory."
