"Also she probably did not know that in ancient days of chivalry ladies sent forth their knights to bear buffeting for their sakes in proof of fealty. Rise up, Sir Knight!" This last phrase of course T. Tembarom did not know the poetic significance of. To his hearer Palliser's story became an amusing thing, read in the light of this most delicious frankness.
But if Lord Brock did not so choose, why, in that case, he must expect that Mr Palliser, and Mr Palliser's friends, would . Mr Bott did not say what they would do; but he was supposed by those who understood the matter to hint at an Opposition lobby, and adverse divisions, and to threaten Lord Brock with the open enmity of Mr Palliser, and of Mr Palliser's great follower.
He had now passed the position of Mr Palliser's house, having come out on Park Lane at a spot nearer to Piccadilly; but he retraced his steps, walking along by the rails of the Park, till he found himself opposite to the house. Then he stood there, leaning back upon the railings, and looking up at Lady Glencora's windows. What did he expect to see?
There seemed no necessity for him to lay schemes beyond those he had betrayed in his inquiries about "ladies," but somehow it became a fixed idea that he was capable of doing shady things if at any time the temptation arose.

'Yes, ma'am. I was afraid too much brandy was being drunk, but it was not my place to mention it, said Rogers, politely. He would have said the same, perhaps, had the house been on fire.
Nor during the whole time of his stay at Matching did the Duke make any other allusion to Mr Palliser's hopes as regarded the ministry, than that in which he had told Lady Glencora at the dinner-table that her husband's ambition was the highest by which any man could be moved. But Mr Bott was sometimes honoured by a few words with the Duke.
If there was anything, I am sure he had some good reason for not telling me," said Miss Alicia, loyally. "His reasons are always good." Palliser's air of losing a shade or so of discretion as a result of astonishment was really well done.
There was a time when Plinlimmon and the Duke could not stable their horses together at all; and don't you remember when Palliser was obliged to give up his hopes of office because he had some bee in his bonnet?"
