"But she didn't say I might do anything of that sort to see YOU." If there was something serious in Nanda and something blank in their companion, there was, superficially at least, nothing in Mr. Mitchett but his usual flush of gaiety. "Did she really send you off this way alone?"
"I dare say you know that dear old Mitchy, under whose blessed roof we're plotting this midnight treason, would marry her like a shot and without a penny." "I think I know everything I think I've thought of everything. Mr. Mitchett," Mr. Longdon added, "is impossible." Vanderbank appeared for an instant to wonder. "Wholly then through HER attitude?" "Altogether." Again he hesitated.
Brookenham's admirable "corners" a society consisting of Lord Petherton and Mr. Mitchett, the latter of whom regarded Mrs. Donner across the room with articulate wonder and compassion. "It's all right, it's all right she's frightened only at herself!" The Duchess watched her as from a box at the play, comfortably shut in, as in the old operatic days at Naples, with a pair of entertainers.
"If there's anything more remarkable than these purifications it's the domestic comfort with which, when all has come and gone, you sport the articles purified." "It comes back, in all that sphere," Mr. Mitchett instructively opined, "to our national, our fatal want of style.
"Do I understand you that Nanda was her mother's authority ?" "For the exact shade of the intimacy of the two friends and the state of Mrs. Brook's information? Precisely it was 'the latest before going to press. 'Our own correspondent'! Her mother quoted her." Mr. Mitchett visibly wondered. "But how should Nanda know ?" "Anything about the matter? How should she NOT know everything?
Longdon had explained that she was so good as to be giving him the list of her dear friends. "I'm only a little dismayed," the elder man said, "to find Mr. Mitchett at the bottom." "Oh but it's an awfully short list, isn't it? If it consists only of me and Mitchy he's not so very low down. We don't allow her very MANY friends; we look out too well for ourselves."
It fluttered him rather that a person who had an understanding with Lord Petherton should so single him out as to wish for one also with himself; such a person must either have great variety of mind or have a wonderful idea of HIS variety. It was true indeed that Mr. Mitchett must have the most extraordinary understanding, and yet with Mr.
"That he should be of such extraction?" "Well, everything. That you should be talking as you are that you should have 'watched life, as you say, to such purpose. That we should any of us be here most of all that Mr. Mitchett himself should. That your grandmother's daughter should have brought HER daughter "
Brookenham, with a fine emphasis on her adverb, proclaimed as she turned to meet the opening of the door and the appearance of the butler, whose announcement "Lord Petherton and Mr. Mitchett" might for an observer have seemed immediately to offer support to her changed state.
"She said what they always say that the effect I produce is, though at first upsetting, one that little by little they find it possible to get used to. The world's full of people who are getting used to me," Mr. Mitchett concluded. "It's what I shall never do, for you're quite too great a luxury!" Mrs. Brookenham declared.
