Clavering is going to take us to the seaside after all. Really, I think life is not worth living sometimes." "Oh, but it is," said Kitty, "and we are only preparing for life now don't forget that, Florry." "I can't take a high and mighty view of anything just now," said Florence; "I am cross, and that's a fact. I wish I wasn't going to the feast to-night.
Several hours after this they were at home, and a caller was announced. It was the Baron Atramonte. "Atramonte!" said Lady Dalrymple. "Who is that? We're not at home, of course. Atramonte! Some of these Italian nobles. Really, I think we have seen enough of them. Who is he, Kitty?" "I'm sure I haven't the faintest idea. I never heard of him in my life." "We're not at home, of course.
Dorothea, busy in her boudoir, felt a glow of pleasure at the sight of her sister so soon after the revelation of her intended marriage.
