Your air of ingenuous ignorance is the cleverest thing about you," which agreeable implication of the fact that he had been privately observant and impressed ought to have fetched the bounder if anything would. T. Tembarom's grin was no longer faint, but spread itself. Palliser's first impression was that he had "fetched" him.
But he was sighing for Westminster, and regretting the blue books which were accumulating themselves at Matching; till on a sudden, there came to him tidings which upset all his plans, which routed the ponies, which made everything impossible, which made the Alps impassable and the railways dangerous, which drove Burgo Fitzgerald out of Mr Palliser's head, and so confused him that he could no longer calculate the blunders of the present Chancellor of the Exchequer.
There is a house in Cavendish Square whose master would be proud to make you its mistress. Ida, we have seen very little of each other, and I may be precipitate in hazarding this offer; but I am as fond of you as if I had known you half a lifetime, and I believe that I could make your life happy. Ida Palliser's heart thrilled with a chill sense of horror and aversion.

Such as occurred seemed, like Kitty Palliser's hat, to be packed with meaning. There was the moment, the dreadful moment, when he lagged behind and lost sight of her.
"Aye, it was," responded Hutchinson, dryly. "I thought Lady Joan was coming," Miss Alicia said to Palliser. "She will be here presently. She came down in our train, but not with us." "What what is she coming for?" faltered Miss Alicia. "Yes," put in the duke, "what, by the way, is she coming for?" "I wrote and asked her to come," was Palliser's reply.
"My name is John Grey," said the stranger. Then the smile was dropped, the look of extreme courtesy disappeared, the tone of Mr Palliser's voice was altered, and he put out his hand. He knew enough of Mr John Grey's history to be aware that Mr John Grey was a man with whom he might permit himself to become acquainted.
To be free and easy, loquacious, fussy, and kind was Fanny Palliser's nature, and she became odious when she tried to restrain those simple impulses by the armour of formal manners.
