By degrees he had come to suspect that, as regarded the employment of his leisure hours, he was very decidedly on the wrong track. Curiously, for Ackroyd as well as for Bunce, there had arisen a measure of evil from Walter Egremont's aspiring work.
And the superior English habitues of Nice, the families who formed the regular society, knew Mr. Egremont's reputation sufficiently to feel by no means disposed to be cordial to the fair wife and grown-up daughter whom he so unexpectedly produced on the scene.
Egremont's countenance, and doubt of his plausible story, which had vanished before his presence, and her mother's faith, returned upon her from time to time, caught perhaps from her aunt's tone and looks. Then her aunt had been like a mother to her her own mother much more like a sister, and the quitting her was a wrench not compensated for as in Mrs.

"She behaved in a most unprincipled manner to me that Fitz-Warene," said Lord Milford, "always took my bouquets and once made me write some verses." "By Jove!" said Lord Eugene, "I should like to see them. What a bore it must have been to write verses." "I only copied them out of Mina Blake's album: but I sent them in my own handwriting." Baffled sympathy was the cause of Egremont's gloom.
