You accuse me of getting out of bed the wrong side, and I own that I did." "I meant to say that Dolly Longstaff had done so." "And I say it was Silverbridge," said Dolly. "We aren't very agreeable together, are we? Upon my word I think you'd better both go." Silverbridge immediately got up from his chair; upon which Dolly also moved.
As he thought of all this he would be proud with the feeling that such privileges would be his own. And now this wretched man had called her a pert poppet! There was a sanctity about her, a divinity which made it almost a profanity to have talked about her at all to such a one as Dolly Longstaff. She was his Holy of Holies, at which vulgar eyes should not even be allowed to gaze.
With Lord Silverbridge, to whom it was essentially necessary that he should make himself agreeable at all times, he was somewhat overweighted as it were. Though he attempted an easy familiarity, he was a little afraid of Lord Silverbridge. With Dolly Longstaff he felt that he might be comfortable, not, perhaps, understanding that gentleman's character.

The door was opened and the young man was announced. "Mr. Longstaff." Miss Boncassen was rather disgusted. She had had enough of this English lover. Why should he have come after what had occurred yesterday?
However, at last it was all done; then two chiefs came and had a look at us, and one took me and Tom Longstaff, and another took the other two. "We had not done badly for eating while we were on shore, for there was several barrels of pork and biscuits among the lot we had landed, and we were free to take as much as we wanted.
Had not Lord Silverbridge been so very much struck by the charm of the young lady, Lords Glasslough and Popplecourt would not perhaps have found it necessary to run after her. As it was, even that most unenergetic of young men, Dolly Longstaff, was moved to profound admiration. On this occasion they were all up the river at Maidenhead. Mr.
Longstaff was, she thought, exactly the man to report all she had said in the public room at the club. But she had been annoyed by what she had heard as to her friend.
