But then I doubt if Miss Ponsonby had any idea what her nose was really like. I don't believe she ever looked at herself critically in a mirror in her life.
Certainly no decisive result could have been gained but for the timely onset of Ponsonby's Union Brigade the 1st Royal Dragoons, the Scots Greys, and the Inniskillings.

Lord Ormersfield came forward to learn whether he might see Mary, and was met by assurances that she must be kept as quiet as possible; upon which he took leave, making a stately bend of the head, while Louis shook Miss Ponsonby's hand, and said he should come to the door to inquire before the day was over.
