'It will be just like Duncan Mac-Girdie's mare, said Evan, 'if your ladyships please; he wanted to use her by degrees to live without meat, and just as he had put her on a straw a day, the poor thing died! Evan's illustration set the company a-laughing, and the discourse took a different turn. Shortly afterwards the party broke up, and Edward returned home, musing on what Flora had said.
“I am bidden to tell your Ladyships that my master has silenced the tongues of his enemies and is restored to the king’s good favor. And I am bidden also to command the Lord Prexaspes to come to the royal tent. His Majesty has need of him.” Glaucon went, questioning much as to the service to be required.

"That's her," said Aunt M'riar. "Sister of Charity that's what she is. The others are ladyships, one or both. They all belong." The tone of remoteness might have been adopted in speaking of inhabitants of Mars and Venus. "I thought her the right sort, herself," said Uncle Mo, implying that others of her monde might be safely assumed to be the wrong sort, pending proof of the contrary.
"Lady Vivian went with my lady and a large party to Hampton Court. Their ladyships will probably spend the day." "The day!" exclaimed Maurice, in an accent of consternation.
