'But it will not come to anything, said John. 'In the meantime, her ladyship gets the benefit of a lion, and a very tawny lion, for her soirees. 'Oh! that soiree will be something pleasant for you, said Violet. 'I shall cut it. It is the first day I can be here. 'Not meet that great African traveller?
The Colonel, of course, did not desire to see that lady, or even think proper to notify his arrival at Brussels, except privately to Jos by a message through his valet. Jos begged the Colonel to come and see him that night, when Mrs. Crawley would be at a soiree, and when they could meet alone.
The day before was one of the first hot days of summer, and Violet was so languid that she looked forward with dread to the evening, when they were to go to a soiree at Mrs. Bryanstone's, and she lay nursing herself, wishing for any pretence for declining it. Theodora coming in, declared that her going was out of the question; but added, 'Georgina Finch is to be there, she will call for me.
The citizens of Cork addressed him a few days later; and the members of the Temperance Institute gave him a soiree, at which the Rev. Theobald Mathew assisted.

A few days after his arrival, during a soiree at the prefecture, he made answer to a rather foolish question, that the most able, intelligent, and distinguished woman he had met in the town was Madame Graslin. "Perhaps you think her the handsomest also?" said the wife of the receiver-general.
I will not go this evening to the soiree of the queen-mother; this is decided. I will announce myself sick. Go and countermand the tailor." He turned to leave the room, but paused suddenly. "I cannot decline this invitation," murmured he. "It is widely known that I have promised to improvise. The world is looking on eagerly.
Each effort of minstrelsy was accompanied by roars of laughter, and led to much manual pleasantry. All swore that they had never spent, intellectually speaking, a more charming soiree, and pitied me for being unable to enter thoroughly into the spirit of the dialogue.
I am glad you can come, but you must be good, and go to the soiree. I do think it would not be right always to leave them when they want you. Tell him so, please, Mr. Martindale. John did so, but Arthur made no promises, and even when the day came, they were uncertain whether they might think of him at the party, or as smoking cigars at home.
