Any small thing to please her was magnified, and the anticipation of it nerved the modest hopes of one who deemed himself and any man alive deeply her inferior. Such was the mood of the lover condemned to hear another malignant scandal defiling the name of the woman he worshipped. Sir Lukin Dunstane, extremely hurried, bumped him on the lower step of the busy Bank, and said: 'Pardon! and 'Ha!
Sir Lukin, when speaking of Diana's 'engagement to that fellow Warwick, exalted her with an extraordinary enthusiasm, exceedingly hard for the silly beast who had lost her to bear. For the present the place dearest to Redworth of all places on earth was unendurable.
It is an honour to call him friend, and I do trust he will choose the pick among us, to make her a happy woman if she's for running in harness. There, I can't say more. Emma had to be satisfied with it, for the present. They were astonished at breakfast by seeing Sir Lukin ride past the windows.
No one could doubt of his having kept his pledge, although his wife occupied herself with books and notions and subjects foreign to his taste his understanding, too, he owned. And Redworth had approved of his retirement, had a contempt for soldiering. 'Quite as great as yours for civilians, I can tell you, Sir Lukin said, dashing out of politics to the vexatious personal subject.
He can ride; that's about all he can do. I told him Mrs. Warwick had no thought of reconciliation. "Then, Sir Lukin, you will perceive that we have no standpoint for a discussion."

She was returning on the spin when he said, 'Who is she? Sir Lukin did not know. 'She 's a new bird; she nodded to my wife; I'll ask. He manoeuvred a few steps cleverly to where his wife reposed.
Sir Lukin hurried up to Redworth, who had no doubt of his ability to manage Mr. Sullivan Smith. He managed that fine-hearted but purely sensational fellow so well that Lady Dunstane and Diana, after hearing in some anxiety of the hubbub below, beheld them entering the long saloon amicably, with the nods and looks of gentlemen quietly accordant.
