He was full of his idea, he had completely mastered it, and he seemed to look down on Madame de Cintre, with all her gathered elegance, from the height of his bracing good conscience. It is probable that this particular tone and manner were the very best he could have hit upon.
Ah! had I been trained to some employment, some profession! had I well it is weak to repine. Mother, tell me, you have seen Mons. de Vaudemont: is he strong and healthy?" "Yes; too much so. He has not your elegance, dear Arthur." "And do you admire him, Camilla? Has no other caught your heart or your fancy?" "My dear Arthur," interrupted Mrs.
"Yes, many things; it's three years," she answered. Deering sat leaning forward, in his sad exiled elegance, hiseyes gently bent on hers; and at his side she saw the solid form of Mr. Jackson Benn, with shoulders preternaturally squared by the cut of his tight black coat, and a tall shiny collar sustaining his baby cheeks and hard blue chin.
