"Miss Fairfax will take supper she dined in the middle of the day," said Lady Latimer, but nothing could be less hospitable than the inflection of her speech as she gave the order. "Indeed, indeed, I am not hungry; we had chicken and tongue to tea," cried Bessie, rather shamefaced now. "And matrimony-cake and hot buttered toast "
"No, we had no matrimony-cake," said Bessie, who understood now that my lady was cross; and no one could be more taunting and unpleasant than my lady when she was cross. The footman had taken Miss Fairfax's remonstrative statement for a negative, and had returned to his own supper when the drawing-room bell rang again: "Why do you not announce Miss Fairfax's supper? Is it not ready yet?"
