'Besides, Gilbert says no such thing.
Dusautoy is there. 'Is anything the matter? he exclaimed. 'Every one must soon know, said Lucy; 'it is of no use to keep it back, Sophy. Only my brother and Mr. Cavendish Dusautoy have got into a scrape about a wine party, and are going to be rusticated. But wait, I'll fetch the frock.
