Lady Esquart told me that he was. A Miss Asper great heiress; and the Daciers want money. However, there it is. Not many weeks later Diana could not have spoken of Mr. Percy Dacier with this air of indifference without corruption of her inward guide. The fatal time to come for her was in the Summer of that year.
'They know nothing of us whatever! Lady Pennon harped on her dictum. 'They put us in a case and profoundly study the captive creature, said Diana: 'but would any man understand this...? She dropped her voice and drew in the heads of Lady Pennon, Lady Singleby, Lady Esquart and Miss Courtney: 'Real woman's nature speaks. A maid of mine had a "follower."
'I am sure, I read what they write of women! And their heroines! Lady Esquart acquiesced: 'We are utter fools or horrid knaves. 'Nature's original hieroglyphs which have that appearance to the peruser, Westlake assented. 'And when they would decipher us, and they hit on one of our "arts," the literary pirouette they perform is memorable. Diana looked invitingly at Dacier.
Quintin Manx, Lady Esquart tells me: money fabulous, and necessary to a younger son devoured with ambition. The elder brother, Lord Creedmore, is a common Nimrod, always absent in Hungary, Russia, America, hunting somewhere. Mr. Dacier will be in the Cabinet with the next Ministry. No more of him. A new work by ANTONIA was progressing.
'I will do my best to hit a flying address. 'Your Club enables me to hit a permanent one that will establish the communication, said Diana. 'We shall not sleep another night at Rovio.

Lord and Lady Crane, Lady Pennon, Lord and Lady Esquart, Lord Larrian, Mr. and Mrs. Montvert of Halford Manor, Lady Singleby, Sir Walter Capperston friends, admirers of Diana; patrons, in the phrase of the time, of her father, were the guests. Lady Pennon expected to be amused, and was gratified, for Diana had only to open her mouth to set the great lady laughing. She petitioned to have Mrs.
Warwick, but tell her I regret, et caetera, he said; 'and by the way, as my uncle's illness appears to be serious, the longer she is absent the better, perhaps.
