It makes the women become ugly so young." "You will never become ugly." She got up and curtsied to him, and then, still standing, made him a speech. "Mr. Longstaff, it would be absurd of me to pretend not to understand what you mean. But I won't have any more of it. Whether you are making fun of me, or whether you are in earnest, it is just the same." "Making fun of you!" "It does not signify.
When the Duke and his daughter reached Custins they found a large party assembled, and were somewhat surprised at the crowd. Lord and Lady Nidderdale were there, which might have been expected as they were part of the family. With Lord Popplecourt had come his recent friend Adolphus Longstaff.

Longstaff! If you sigh like that you'll burst yourself." "I'll what?" "Burst yourself!" and she nodded her head at him. Then he clapped his hands together, and turned his head away from her towards the little temple. "I wonder whether she knows what love is," he said, as though he were addressing himself to Mrs. Arthur de Bever. "No, she don't," said Miss Boncassen.

He had not much regarded this because a vacant chair may be pushed on one side. But before he had made all his calculations Dolly Longstaff was sitting there! He almost thought that Dolly winked at him in triumph, that very Dolly who an hour ago had promised to take himself off upon his Asiatic travels!
Dinner had been ordered at the Beargarden at seven, an hour earlier than would have been named had it not been that Lord Gerald must be at the Eastern Counties Railway Station at nine P.M. An hour and a half for dinner and a cigar afterwards, and half an hour to get to the railway station would not be more than time enough. But of all men alive Dolly Longstaff was the most unpunctual.
