She left the room five minutes after Captain Gambier." Wilfrid sprang to his feet, looking eagerly to the corners of the room. "Pardon me," he said, and moved up to Lady Gosstre. On the way he questioned himself why his heart should be beating at such a pace. Standing at her ladyship's feet, he could scarcely speak. "Yes, Wilfrid; go after her," said Adela, divining his object.
I fancy I'm looking at the budding of my own brain. She's a born artist, but I'm afraid everybody's conspiring to ruin her." "Surely," said Adela, "we shall not do that, if we encourage her in her Art." "He means another kind of art," said Lady Gosstre. "The term 'artist, applied to our sex, signifies 'Frenchwoman' with him. He does not allow us to be anything but women.
Lady Gosstre had once told her that the point of Sir Twickenham's private character was his susceptibility to ridicule.

Now they listened to Emilia, and now strolled in the garden; conversed on the social skill of Lady Gosstre, who was nevertheless narrow in her range; and on the capacities of mansions, on the secret of mixing people in society, and what to do with the women! A terrible problem, this latter one. And yet you cannot do without them! which is the revolting mystery.
