Oh, Arthur, you are in some trouble, and you won't tell me what it is, so I can't help you! Ger. I shall be killed, I know. I mean to be. Will you think of me sometimes? Give me one kiss. I may have a last kiss. Con. I will do anything you please. There's something wrong, dreadfully wrong! And it must be my fault! Oh! there's that man! SCENE. A street in Mayfair. MRS. CLIFFORD'S house.
We ourselves all dwell in worlds of infinite variety. I do not mean the social and professional worlds in which we move, though here, too, the world is not one but many. There is not much in common between the world as it appears to Sarah Ellen, who "runs" four looms in a Lancashire weaving shed during fifty-one weeks in the year, and my Lady Broadacres, who suns herself in Mayfair.
He laid the moaning girl on the sofa, ordered his servants to admit nobody into the house, and drove at once to Mayfair. He called at Miss Somerset's house, saw Polly, and questioned her. He drove home again, and came into the drawing-room looking as he had been seen to look when fighting his ship; but his daughter had never seen him so.
As she executed the wild mazes of a newly imported dance, she held even the jaded Mayfair spellbound. And when she concluded with one daring figure and sat down, flushed and excited, the diners applauded and even shouted approval. It was an event for even the dance-mad Mayfair. Constance did not share in the applause. At last she understood. Adele was a dope fiend, too.
The young and pretty were blackened and whitened and reddened quite as crudely as the old and ugly. There was no attempt at concealment. The faces of many Mayfair ladies filled Peter with disrespectful astonishment. He had not been home for four years, and then nice girls didn't do that sort of thing much. Now one of Jan's best points was her complexion; it was so fair and fresh.
Strolling together slowly in their summer twilight and their empty corner of Mayfair, they found themselves emerge at last opposite to one of the smaller gates of the Park; upon which, without any particular word about it they were talking so of other things they crossed the street and went in and sat down on a bench.
He raised his head to see Mayfair straggle in a bad second, and shrugged his shoulders. "How much did you lose?" she asked. "Oh, 'bout two hundred dollars," said Van Bibber; "but it's the first time I've lost to-day, so I'm still ahead." He bent over to continue what he was saying, when a rude commotion and loud talking caused those in the boxes to raise their heads and look around.
"There to the North is Paris; your Paris, and my Paris, with London only eight hours away. If you look very closely, you can see the thousands of hansom cab lamps flashing across the asphalt, and the open theatres, and the fairy lamps in the gardens back of the houses in Mayfair, where they are giving dances in your honor, in honor of the beautiful American bride, whom every one wants to meet.
Had their way taken them along Piccadilly, or through Mayfair, or across Grosvenor Square, they would have known where they were; but at present they were not thinking of those once much-loved localities. The cab passed the Angel, and up and down the hill at Pentonville, and by the King's Cross stations, and through Euston Square, and then it turned up Gower Street.
But the truth is, he visits her constantly, and I blush to say that when he leaves you this day it will be to spend the afternoon at her house. "I inclose you her address, and you can learn in ten minutes whether I am a slanderer or, what I wish to be, SIR CHARLES was behind his time in Mayfair; but the lawyer and his clerk had not arrived, and Miss Somerset was not visible.
