His father's further meditations, as they stepped briskly to the Foreys', gave poor ferry a character which one who lectures on matrimony, and has kissed but three men in her life, shrieks to hear the very title of. "Richard will go to his wife to-morrow," Sir Austin said to Adrian some time before they went in to dinner.

He did duty in the vestry a few minutes, and then said to his aunt: "Now I'll go." "You'll come to the breakfast, child? The Foreys" He cut her short. "I've stood for the family, and I'll do no more. I won't pretend to eat and make merry over it." "Richard!" "Good-bye." She had attained her object and she wisely gave way. "Well. Go and kiss Clare, and shake his hand. Pray, pray be civil."

It is by a rare chance, as scientific men well know, that one has an opportunity of examining the structure of the living. However, that rare chance was granted to Sir Austin. They were engaged to dine with Mrs. Doria at the Foreys', and walked down to her in the afternoon, father and son arm-in-arm, Adrian beside them.

The Foreys gave good dinners, and with the old gentleman the excellent old fashion remained in permanence of trooping off the ladies as soon as they had taken their sustenance and just exchanged a smile with the flowers and the dessert, when they rose to fade with a beautiful accord, and the gallant males breathed under easier waistcoats, and settled to the business of the table, sure that an hour for unbosoming and imbibing was their own.

Doria, "he does astonish me!" Adrian begged her to retain her astonishment till the right season, which would not be long arriving. Their common wisdom counselled them not to tell the Foreys of their hopeful relative's ungracious behaviour. Clare had left them. When Mrs. Doria went to her room her daughter was there, gazing down at something in her hand, which she guiltily closed.

Assuredly very few even of the philosophers would have turned away uncomplainingly to meaner delights the moment after. Hippias received the first portion of the cake. He was sitting by the window in his hotel, reading. He had fought down his breakfast with more than usual success, and was looking forward to his dinner at the Foreys' with less than usual timidity.

Doria had this new track shaped out before her, John Todhunter called at the Foreys'. "Old John!" sang out Mrs. Doria, "show him up to me. I want to see him particularly." He sat with her alone.
