During the last dance she was discovered by Sir Robert Floyer, who, sauntering down fop's alley, stationed himself by her side, and whenever the figurante relieved the principal dancers, turned his eyes from the stage to her face, as better worth his notice, and equally destined for his amusement.
Morsfield looked a willingness to do the deed he might have to pay for in tenderer places than the pocket, and named the head as a seat of poverty with him. Cumnock then yawned a town fop's advice to a hustling street passenger to apologize for his rudeness before it was too late.
For I, with a fop's audacity, had thought my love for you of sufficient moment to have been long since observed; and, strong in my conceit, had scorned a pleasing declaration made up of faint phrases and whining ballad-endings. I spoke as my heart prompted me; but the heart has proven a poor counsellor, dear lady, and now am I rewarded.

When the last dish was removed and bottles and bumpers stood upon the board, she sprang up on her chair and stood before them all, smiling down the long table with eyes like flashing jewels. Her hands were thrust in her pockets with her pretty young fop's air, and she drew herself to her full comely height, her beauteous lithe limbs and slender feet set smartly together.
"In fact, own that you would be a miserable man, in spite of all your wealth, if the young dandies, who throng to your banquets, were to cut you dead in the streets; if, when your high-stepping horse stopped at your club, the porter shut the door in your face; if, when you lounged into the opera-pit, handsome dog that you are, each spendthrift rake in 'Fop's Alley, who now waits but the scratch of your pen to endorse /billets doux/ with the charm that can chain to himself for a month some nymph of the Ballet, spinning round in a whirlwind of tulle, would shrink from the touch of your condescending forefinger with more dread of its contact than a bailiff's tap in the thick of Pall Mall could inspire; if, reduced to the company of city clerks, parasite led-captains "
At best He's but a caterpillar dress'd; The gaudy fop's his picture just. The second vice is lying; the first is running in debt. Lying rides upon debt's back. It is hard for an empty bag to stand upright. Creditors have better memories than debtors. Creditors are a superstitious sect, great observers of set days and times. The borrower is a slave to the lender, and the debtor to the creditor.
The fop's face lengthened with amazed disapprobation. "Gentlewomen, messire? Those four doxies?" Villon reproved him. "They are women, good captain, and you and I are gentlemen, or should be, and must use them gently."
"I will abjure twice over, if it pleases monsieur," put in the tall Spanish-looking ruffian. "Nothing would delight me more than to be a Huguenot. By the windpipe of the Pope, for a flagon of wine I would be a Jew!" "And I a damned infidel Turk," wearily added their fat comrade, "for a roast fowl, and a place to lay my miserable body!" At this moment the fop's eyes fell on Blaise.
But at that moment Paula Forrest, unaware of her audience, with a sharp cry of command and a cavalier thrust of sharp spurs into The Fop's silken sides, checked him down to four-footedness on the ground and a restless, champing quietness. "Taking chances?" Dick mildly reproached her, as the three rode up.
