The men said he had insisted on retaining that, and no other, for his journey to London, contrary to all advice, and he was obliged to ride foremost, alone in the middle of the road; while Master Headley seemed to have an immense quantity of consultation to carry on with his foreman, Tibble, whose quiet- looking brown animal was evidently on the best of terms with Poppet.
Vaura is extremely lovely and fascinating, she, of course, is the magnet that draws him; what a presumptuous little poppet he is, a mere fortune-hunter, hanger-on of society to dare turn his eyes in her direction. But am I not taking too deep an interest in this sweet Vaura Vernon. I must guard my heart; she is a flirt, I must beware. Another tender billet from Mrs.
Ivan Alexyevitch shuts his eyes and waggles his head. "I'm revoltingly happy," he says. "Just think; in a minute I shall go to my compartment. There on the seat near the window is sitting a being who is, so to say, devoted to you with her whole being. A little blonde with a little nose . . . little fingers. . . . My little darling! My angel! My little poppet! Phylloxera of my soul!

Poppet! put those bonbons in your pocket. You should never eat sugarplums in company. Thus, talking agreeable nonsense, tasting agreeable dishes, and sipping agreeable wines, an hour ran on.
Oughtn't I to have my money back?" "Poppet ought to make you pay twice," Mrs. Austen heartlessly retorted at this woman, the relict of Nicholas Amsterdam, concerning whom a story had come out and who had died, his friends said, of exposure. Mrs. Amsterdam turned on Paliser whom she had never seen before. "What do you say?" "I am appalled," he answered. She turned again.
