"I had better send and tell him that you are here," said her ladyship.
In spite of the young peer's numerous faults Sir George was much attached to him, and always ready to help him in his difficulties. "Penwether," said the Lord, "I have got myself into an awful scrape." "I am sorry to hear it. A woman, I suppose," "Oh, yes. I never gamble, and therefore no other scrape can be awful.
