It's a darling room, though that horrid creature, Captain Strong, did arrange it. Are you eprise of him? He says you are, but I know better; it is the beau cousin. Yes il a de beaux yeux. Je n'aime pas les blonds, ordinairement.
"What made me think so was his being so curious about our friend Cumberworld. As for Gwen, I wouldn't trust her not to be romantic. Girls are." The lady speaks discreetly: "Certainly no such construction would have occurred to me. One has to be on one's guard against romantic ideas. She might easily be a éprise, to some extent as girls are...." "But spooney, no! Well perhaps you're right."
Churchill had suggested that if any body knew the bottom of the matter, except that origin of all evil Lady Katrine herself, it must be Lord Beltravers, with whom Lady Castlefort was, it was said, fortement eprise, and as Horace observed, "the secrets of scandal are common property between lovers, much modern love being cemented by hate."
At the story of the title which Colonel Esmond had ceded, he shrugged his shoulders, and treated it as a fable.
