This was the reason that Lord de Mowbray was at the present moment seated in the same chair in the same library as was a few days back that worthy baronet, Sir Vavasour Firebrace. Mr Hatton was at the same table similarly employed; his Persian cat on his right hand, and his choice spaniels reposing on their cushions at his feet.
"Sir, I am extremely obliged to you," said the strange gentleman; "the letter belongs to me, though it is not addressed to me. I must have this moment dropped it. My name, Sir, is Firebrace Sir Vavasour Firebrace, and this letter is addressed to a a not exactly my lawyer, but a gentleman a professional gentleman whom I am in the habit of frequently seeing; daily, I may say.
"And what does Lord Clarinel think of your pledge about the pension list?" said Lady Firebrace daunted but malignant. "He never told me," said Mr Jermyn. "I believe you did not pledge yourself to the ballot?" inquired Lady Firebrace with an affected air of inquisitiveness. "It is a subject that requires some reflection," said Mr Jermyn. "I must consult some profound politician like Lady Firebrace.
STAFF OFFICER: "Just make a note of that, will you?" MACHINE-GUN OFFICER: "All right, old boy. It's my pidgeon." I'll see to it." And that is the right way of touring the trenches. Unfortunately General Firebrace was a new broom. It was quite permissible for him to do what he did, but, as I said before, I am doubtful if it was altogether wise.
"But I cannot stop," said Lady Firebrace. "I must be with Lady St Julians exactly at a quarter past four;" and she sprang into her carriage. "I would sooner meet any woman in London than Lady Firebrace," said Mr Berners; "she makes me uneasy for the day: she contrives to convince me that the whole world are employed behind my back in abusing or ridiculing me."
He is popular with all who know him except Taper, Lady St Julians, and Tadpole, Lady Firebrace." "Well, I think I will ask him still for Wednesday," said Lady St Julians; "and I will write him a little note. If society is not his object, what is?" "Ay!" said Egremont, "there is a great question for you and Lady Firebrace to ponder over.
"Well, that can't be said of Lord Clarinel," rejoined Lady Firebrace. "And have you been defending me against Lord Clarinel's attacks?" inquired Mr Jermyn. "No; but I am going to Wemsbury, and then I have no doubt I shall have the opportunity." "I am going to Wemsbury myself," said Mr Jermyn.
"I must get you to interest Lord de Mowbray in our cause," said Sir Vavasour Firebrace, in an insinuating voice to his neighbour, Lady Joan; "I have sent him a large packet of documents. You know, he is one of us; still one of us. Once a baronet, always a baronet.
At the right moment, and when she was sure she was not overheard, Lady Firebrace played her trump card, the pack having been previously cut by Mr Tadpole. "And who do you think Sir Robert would send to Ireland?" and she looked up in the face of the Duke of Fitz-Aquitaine. "I suppose the person he sent before," said his grace. Lady Firebrace shook her head.
"Sir Robert will never consent to form a government again without Lord Stanley," said Lady Firebrace. "Perhaps not," said the duke. "Do you know whose name I have heard mentioned in a certain quarter as the person Sir Robert would wish to see in Ireland?" continued Lady Firebrace. His grace leant his ear. "The Duke of Fitz-Aquitaine," said Lady Firebrace. "Quite impossible," said the duke.
