Ferdinand remained talking for some time with Lord Fitzwarrene. By degrees the great saloon had become somewhat thinner: some had stolen away to the House, where a division was expected; quiet men, who just looked in after dinner, had retired; and the play-men were engaged in the contiguous apartments. Mr. Bond Sharpe approached Ferdinand, and Lord Fitzwarrene took this opportunity of withdrawing.
What is the name of my Bath favourite who is certainly to dine with me in town? 'Do you mean Captain Armine? enquired Mrs. Montgomery Floyd. Miss Temple turned pale. 'That is the man, said Lady Bellair. 'Oh! such a charming man. You shall marry him, my dear; you shall not marry Lord Fitzwarrene. 'But you forget he is going to be married, said Mrs. Montgomery Floyd.
How provoking! 'But, really, dear Lady Bellair, your grandson is very happy. What more can you wish? 'Well, my dear, it shall be Lord Fitzwarrene, then. I shall give a series of parties this year, and ask Lord Fitzwarrene to every one. Not that it is very easy to get him, my child. There is nobody so difficult as Lord Fitzwarrene. That is quite right. Men should always be difficult.
He is a good fellow, and immensely rich: it is Fitzwarrene; he owes me great favours. 'Dear Mirabel, I am delighted to see you. This is good and kind. I am so damned dull here. It quite gladdens me to see you; but do not talk about money. 'Here is 500L.; four other fellows at 500L. we can manage it. 'No more, no more! I beseech you. 'But you cannot stop here. Quel drôle appartement!
Her ladyship herself beckoned Henrietta Temple to join her on the sofa, and, taking her hand very affectionately, explained to her all the tactics by which she intended to bring-about a match between her and Lord Fitzwarrene, very much regretting, at the same time, that her dear grandson, Lord Bellair, was married; for he, after all, was the only person worthy of her.
'Where have you dined to-day? at the Balcombes'? You are a very brave man, mon general! Ah! Stock, good Stock, excellent Stock! he continued, addressing Mr. Million de Stockville, 'that Burgundy you sent me is capital. How are you, my dear fellow? Quite well? Fitzwarrene, I did that for you: your business is all right.
Miss Temple tried to rise, but she could not. She held down her head. She felt the fever in her cheek. 'Is our engagement, then, so notorious? she thought to herself. 'Ah! yes, I forgot he was going to be married, said Lady Bellair. 'Well, then, it must be Lord Fitzwarrene. Besides, Captain Armine is not rich, but he has got a very fine place though, and I will go and stop there some day.
I love a duke, but I love a duke that is refined more. You shall marry Lord Fitzwarrene. He is my favourite; he is worthy of you. You laugh; I love to see you laugh. You are so fresh and innocent! There is your worthy father talking to my friend Mrs. Twoshoes; a very good creature, my love, a very worthy soul, but no ton; I hate French words, but what other can I use?
'Cher ami! I cannot stop one minute. I dine with Fitzwarrene, and I am late. I have done your business capitally. Here is a pretty flower! Who do you think gave it me? She did, pardy. On condition, however, that I should bear it to you, with a message; and what a message! that you should be happy. 'Nonsense, my dear Count' 'It is true; but I romanced at a fine rate for it.
