What struck her, as she sat in the little withdrawing room while the maid removed her overshoes, was the note of permanence. Some of those who were present at Mrs. Grainger's that evening remember her entrance into the drawing-room.
The 'Ever Victorious Grainger, as his many friends often designate him, some months ago sent out a prospecting party to try the country near the headwaters of Banshee Greek, with the result that probably the richest alluvial field in Australia has been discovered. Over 2,000 os. of gold principally in nuggets ranging from 100 oz. to 2 oz. have already been taken by Mr. Grainger's party.
Grainger's intention, and presently found herself walking rapidly up-town through swirling snow, somewhat dazed by the events of the afternoon. And these, by the way, were not yet finished. As she reached her own door, a voice vaguely familiar called her name. "Honora!" She turned.
Grainger's cousin did not escape, and the biography was the subject of laughter. "You see something of him, I hear," remarked Mrs. Playfair, a lady the deficiency of whose neck was supplied by jewels, and whose conversation sounded like liquid coming out of an inverted bottle. "Is he really serious about the biography?" "You'll have to ask Mr. Grainger," replied Honora.
This year Johnson was receiving his "Shakespeare," but he published a review of Grainger's "Sugar Cane: A Poem" in the "London Chronicle," and also wrote in "The Critical Review" an account of Goldsmith's excellent poem, "The Traveller."
I simply want to be somewhere where I can see your face and old Grainger's at the same time, and Hitchin's, when you're going for their Socialism." "You shall certainly not come on the platform. And wherever you sit I must request you to behave yourself if you can. You may not realize it, but this is going to be a serious meeting." "I know that. It's just the the seriousness that gets me."
Harmoniously here," he added, "if you know what I mean. Not a newcomer, but some one who must always have been logically expected." She glanced at him quickly, with parted lips. It was she who had done most of the talking at Mrs. Grainger's dinner; and the imaginative quality of mind he was now revealing was unlooked for. She was surprised not to find it out of character.

Bewildered, and suspecting he hardly knew what, Captain Dalston, in defiance of young Grainger's oft-iterated injunctions, determined to call at his father's residence, which he had always understood to be in Leadenhall Street.
Open, Sesame! seems, as ever, to be the countersign of her life. Even the palace gates swung wide to her: most of them with the more readiness because she had already passed through other gates Mrs. Grainger's, for instance. Baiae, apparently, is a topsy-turvy world in which, if one alights upside down, it is difficult to become righted. To alight upside down, is to alight in a palace.
