The other lady was young, and very pretty, but with a scornful kind of amused expression, and a drawling way of speaking both of which I disliked extremely. "Edith," said Lady Sandlingbury, "here's this angry gentleman going to put us both in prison for selling him a bad orchestrome. He says it won't work." "Doesn't matter, does it?" said the other lady.
If Miss Sakers happens to ask us whether we are going to the bazaar in support of the Deserving Inebriates next year, I have instructed Eliza to reply: "Not if Lady Sandlingbury and her friend have a stall." I positively refuse to meet them, and I do not care twopence if they know it.
"I mean to say, as long as it will play, you know." At this rather stupid remark they both laughed, without so much as looking at me. "I don't want to make myself in any way unpleasant, your ladyship," I said; "but this instrument was offered for raffle as being worth five pounds, and it's not worth five shillings." "Come, now," said Lady Sandlingbury, "I will give you five shillings for it.
"I don't believe there's anything really wrong with it just some little thing that's got out of order, and can be put right again." "Wrong! Why, it's wrong all through. Not one scrap of any of the tunes comes out right. I shall take it back to Lady Sandlingbury at once." "Oh, don't do that!" But my mind was made up, and I went back to the bazaar, and up to Lady Sandlingbury's stall.
