"Good!" He smiled at her with a flash of white teeth. "Then my sister herself will see one of the household of the Khedive and request the invitation for you and for your chaperon, the Madame " "Eversham." "Eversham. She will be included for you, but not the daughter no?" "Is that asking too much?" said Arlee hesitantly.
Eversham; who never ceased to impress me with the awful responsibility I was about to take upon me, in marrying so great a prize as her daughter a feeling I found very general among many of my friends at the Kildare-street club. "Among the many indispensable purchases which I was to make, and about which Fanny expressed herself more than commonly anxious, was a saddle-horse for me.
"As to Miss Eversham, the following short note from the dean concluded my hopes in that quarter. "'Deanery, Wednesday morning.
