"It seems to me," says Stephen, with extreme acrimony, "that no one in this county is good enough for Roger; even you, it appears, fell short."
"Yes, and you cawnt conceive the peens she teekes to talk of the teebles and cheers, and to thank Q, and with so much teeste to speak pure English," said Mrs. Dareville. "Pure cockney, you mean," said Lady Langdale. "But does Lady Clonbrony expect to pass for English?" said the duchess.
