Joey! don't you hear they're talking about our cousin? 'Who? said Filey, bending over the lady with a peace-offering of cake. 'Why, Geoffrey Stonor, answered Sophia. 'Is it Stonor they mean? 'Well, of course. 'How do you know? demanded Filey, in the pause.
'Women? asked Hermione, with the air of one painstakingly brushing up crumbs of wisdom. Paul Filey nodded. 'Knew ? 'They would see that in the ugly scramble they had let fall their crowns! If they only knew, he repeated, 'they would go back to their thrones, and, with the sceptre of beauty in one hand and the orb of purity in the other, they would teach men to worship them again.
