"Nothing equal to Maillardet's singing-bird has ever been seen or heard of, my dear Helena, since the days of Aboulcasem's peacock in the Persian Tales. Since Lady Anne Percival has not shown you these charming things, I must." "But I hope you won't tire yourself, mamma," said the little girl. "I'm afraid you will," said Belinda.
When they came to Maillardet's, however, Lady Delacour saw Mrs. getting out of her carriage, and to her she consigned Helena and Miss Portman, saying that she would take a turn or two in the part, and call for them in half an hour.
When they got to Spring Gardens, Helena exclaimed, "Oh! there's Lady Anne Percival's carriage, and Charles and Edward with her they are going to the same place that we are, I dare say, for I heard Charles ask Lady Anne to take him to see Maillardet's little bird Mr. Hervey mentioned it to us, and he said it was a curious piece of machinery."
Her ladyship affected to be in "remarkable good spirits this morning," declared that she had never felt so well since her illness, ordered her carriage as soon as breakfast was over, and said she would take Helena to Maillardet's, to see the wonders of his little conjuror and his singing-bird.
