From that instant, though the gullish multitude studied the daily reports with grave interest; their hopes and speculations and arrangements changing with each phrase; for the initiated there was no suspense. All knew that it was over; and Lady St Julians, giving up her quadrille, began to look about for seats in parliament for her sons.
"And I am told we shall keep so," said Lord de Mowbray. "The mills are mostly at work, and the men take the reduced wages in a good spirit. The fact is our agitators in this neighbourhood suffered pretty smartly in '39, and the Chartists have lost their influence. "I am sorry for poor Lady St Julians," said Lady Bardolf to Lady de Mowbray.
"Adieu, my dear friend. We meet, I believe, at dinner?" "Plotting," said Mr Egerton to Mr Berners, as they passed the great ladies. "The only consolation one has," said Berners, "is, that if they do turn us out, Lady Deloraine and Lady St Julians must quarrel, for they both want the same thing." "Lady Deloraine will have it," said Egerton.
Notwithstanding the confidence of Lady St Julians, and her unrivalled information, the health of the king did not improve: but still it was the hay fever, only the hay fever.
"No," said Lady Bardolf shaking his head, "they make their first appearance at Deloraine House. We meet there on Thursday I know." "Well, I must say," said Lady St Julians, "that I am curious to see her." "Lord Valentine met them last year at Naples." "And what does he say of her." "Oh! he raves!" "What a romantic history! And what a fortunate man is Lord Marney.
Julians wished her daughter ever particularly to shun, employed all his gaiety, good-humour, frivolity, and fashion in amusing that young lady, and with irresistible effect. For the rest, they continued, though they had only partridges to shoot, to pass the morning without weariness. The weather was fine; the stud numerous; all might be mounted. The Grand-duke and his suite, guided by Mr.
After him come men still more worthy of respect, but whom one almost despairs of imitating; Epictetus in bondage, the Antonines and the Julians on the throne.
'I never go anywhere; nobody knows him, and he does not wish to know anybody. 'I will manage it, with your permission; 'tis not difficult; a young marquess has only to evince an inclination, and in a week's time he will be everywhere. I will tell Lady St. Julians and the great ladies to send him invitations; they will fall like a snow-storm.
Terms regularly settled beforehand. I have a note here all the facts." And Lady Firebrace twirled in her hand a bulletin from Mr Tadpole. "Lansdowne House is destined to cross me," said Lady St Julians with bitterness. "Well it is very provoking," said Lady Deloraine, "when you had made up your mind to ask them for Wednesday." "Yes, that alone is a sacrifice," said Lady St Julians.
At length one morning there was an odd whisper in the circle of first initiation. The blood mantled on the cheek of Lady St Julians; Lady Deloraine turned pale. Lady Firebrace wrote confidential notes with the same pen to Mr Tadpole and Lord Masque. Lord Marney called early in the morning on the Duke of Fitz-Aquitaine, and already found Lord de Mowbray there. The clubs were crowded even at noon.
