Her eyes, her beauty, her wit, her grace, her ton, caused a perfect fureur of admiration or envy. Introduced by the Duchess of Fitzbattleaxe, along with her Grace's daughters, the Ladies Gwendoline and Gwinever Portcullis, the heiress's regal beauty quite flung her cousins' simple charms into the shade, and blazed with a splendor which caused all "minor lights" to twinkle faintly.
Fitzbattleaxe House, in Belgrave Square, is as everybody knows the next mansion to that occupied by Amethyst. A communication was made between the two houses. She never went out except accompanied by the duchess's guard, which it was impossible to overcome. "Impossible! Nothing's impossible," said Lord Bagnigge. "I bet you what you like you don't get in," said the young Marquis of Martingale.
That man, as they saw him there before them, had been cab-boy to Lord Tantallan, valet to the Earl of Bareacres, and groom of the chambers to the Duchess Dowager of Fitzbattleaxe. Oh, it was delightful to hear Mr. Truncheon!
But it seemed as if the Fates had determined against Lord Bagnigge, for the very next day, riding in the Park, his horse fell with him; he was carried home to his house with a fractured limb and a dislocated shoulder; and the doctor's bulletins pronounced him to be in the most dangerous state. Martingale was a married man, and there was no danger of HIS riding by the Fitzbattleaxe carriage.
