The Contessa and Bice in great spirits and happiness, like two children home from school, had left the Randolph party at the railway, to take possession of the little house in Mayfair. They had both waved their hands from the carriage window and called out, "Be sure you come and see us," as they drove away. "You will come to-night," they had stipulated with Sir Tom and Jock.
"Yes, for Robin." "It it would be an income whatever happened. It is in the very heart of Mayfair," she said, because, in her astonishment almost consternation she could think of nothing else. He would not buy it for her. He thought her too silly to trust. But, if it were Robin's it would be hers also. A girl couldn't turn her own mother into the street.
You think it is wicked in me to talk in this brutal way about bargain and sale; and say that your heart's darling is, at this minute, being paced up and down the Mayfair market to be taken away by the best bidder. Can you count purses with Sultan Farintosh? Can you compete even with Sir John Fobsby of the North? What I say is wicked and worldly, is it?
No; the people who keep that tablet well, never can be bankrupt. And the society of those old Romans; their daily passions occupations humours! why, the satire of Horace is the glass of our own follies! We may fancy his easy pages written in the Chaussee d'Antin, or Mayfair; but there was one thing that will ever keep the ancient world dissimilar from the modern." "And what is that?"
Better call about ten-thirty P.M., and ask for me. Have no fear. I am still your friend, The address given was 14, Ellerston Street, Mayfair. Hugh knew the street, which turned off Curzon Street, a short thoroughfare, but very exclusive. Some smart society folk lived there. But who was George Peters?
"I knew she had; but she looked up from some flowers over which she was bending, began to laugh and rattle, would talk about nothing but Lady Hautboi's great breakfast the day before, and the most insufferable Mayfair jargon; and then declared it was time to go home and dress for Mrs. Booth's dejeuner, which was to take place that afternoon."
But he had this redeeming quality, that having found Lucinda Roanoke to be the handsomest woman he had ever seen, he did desire to make her his wife. Such were the friends whom Lizzie Eustace received at Portray Castle on the first day of her grand hospitality, together with John Eustace and Mr. Joseph Emilius, the fashionable preacher from Mayfair. Lizzie's First Day
Dick presented to the expectant three the same disreputable and truculent aspect which had so deeply offended Charles of Mayfair an aspect so extraordinary as to strike speechless for a moment even the three so deeply interested in his advent. "That chair with arms," said Dick to the sergeant, "or he'll fall off."
I blame people for having given no sign of wanting a third from either; and I blame them with the more zest because neither 'A Faun on the Cotswolds' nor 'Ariel in Mayfair' was a merely popular book: each, I maintain, was a good book.
And this great idea banished all remembrance of the past, all sense of the present the young aspirant thought only of the future. Five years have passed. Dr. John Adams was "settled" in a small "showy" house in the vicinity of Mayfair; he had, the world said, made an excellent match.
