There are belles, pretty French belles, with just a tint of deceitless rouge for fashion's sake, and tinkling, crisp, low French voices modulated to chime with the music and not disharmonize it; nay, rather add to the sweetness of its concord. And there is the Creole dandy, the small master of the revels.
"Heigho!" sighed Long Ned, turning his waistcoat commodities inside-out with a significant gesture, while the accomplished Tomlinson, who was fond of plaintive poetry, pointed to the disconsolate vacua, and exclaimed, "E'en while Fashion's brightest arts decoy, The heart desponding asks if this be joy!"
Van Dam, upon whose arm she was leaning, was one of the worst products of artificial metropolitan life.

The programme was superb, and those who were there neither for Fashion's nor Charity's sake, but for love of what was best in art, were enthusiastic in view of all those masterpieces.

They have been carried along by a love of sport, and by the set of fashion's tide, not stopping to ask themselves whither they are floating.
