But whenever their efforts are unexpectedly, and for themselves unfortunately successful, they are so taken aback that they lose the power of behaving themselves with even gigantesque propriety. Such, so great and so various, was to be the intended gathering at Miss Dunstable's house. She herself laughed, and quizzed herself speaking of the affair to Mrs.
"But of course one's likings and dislikings on such a matter depend on circumstances. I live with my mother, and all my relatives live near us. Of course I like the country best, because they are there." "Young ladies so often have a different way of looking at this subject. I shouldn't wonder if Miss Dunstable's views about it were altogether of another sort.
It was an "off" day for the shooters, and Lady Dunstable's guests were lounging about the garden, writing letters or playing a little leisurely golf on the lower reaches of the moor. Some of the ladies, indeed, had not yet appeared downstairs; a sleepy heat reigned over the valley with its winding stream, and veiled the distant hills.
"The world shall be gratified at once," said Mrs. Harold, obeying a little nod from Mrs. Proudie. "Come, my dear," and she took hold of Miss Dunstable's arm, "don't let us keep Barchester waiting. We shall be ready in a quarter of an hour, shall we not, Mrs. Proudie?" and so they sailed off. "And we shall have time for one glass of claret," said the bishop.

The Grantly Triumph It has been mentioned cursorily the reader, no doubt, will have forgotten it that Mrs. Grantly was not specially invited by her husband to go up to town with a view of being present at Miss Dunstable's party.
