I remember that Madame Mirliflore was unapproachably superior to the other women present, in the perfect beauty of her dress, and in the ample justice which she did to the luxurious dinner set before us. I remember the Major's young prima donna, more round-eyed, more overdressed, more shrill and strident as the coming "Queen of Song," than ever.
The Major brightened at the idea, and took up the pen again. "Do tell me," he said, "what is your favorite autumn soup?" "Pardon me," I began, "we were speaking just now " "Oh, dear me!" cried Major Fitz-David. "Is this the other subject?" "Yes this is the other subject." The Major put down his pen for the second time, and regretfully dismissed from his mind Madame Mirliflore and the autumn soup.
Madame Mirliflore is still in London. You would be sure to like her she is charming; she possesses your firmness, your extraordinary tenacity of purpose. Yes, we will have Madame Mirliflore. Who else? Shall we say Lady Clarinda? Another charming person, Mr. Benjamin! You would be sure to admire her she is so sympathetic, she resembles in so many respects our fair friend here.
I remember dear old Benjamin, completely bewildered, shrinking into corners, blushing when he was personally drawn into the conversation, frightened at Madame Mirliflore, bashful with Lady Clarinda, submissive to the Major, suffering under the music, and from the bottom of his honest old heart wishing himself home again.
"Only for a moment," I said. "You remind me," pursued Major Fitz-David, shaking his head sadly, "of another charming friend of mine a French friend Madame Mirliflore. You are a person of prodigious tenacity of purpose. Madame Mirliflore is a person of prodigious tenacity of purpose. She happens to be in London. Shall we have her at our little dinner?"
