"Hughy's pretty good-looking, Ethie," said Meg, amiably; "and the best fellow in the world; but probably not of a calibre to interest a college girl. And Lord Strathay" the name rolled slowly from her tongue, as if she were loth to let it go "is a charming fellow. Just succeeded to the title. He's travelling with his cousin, the Hon. Stephen Allardyce Poultney. Nelly danced with him.

"I was thinking of course you know, Julia, that since poor little Hughy's death, I am the next in for the title?" "Poor Hughy! I'm sure you are too generous to rejoice at that." "Indeed I am. When two fellows offered me a dinner at the club on the score of my chances, I wouldn't have it. But there's the fact; isn't it?" "There is no doubt of that, I believe."
