"Now do you not think I ought to be proud of my friend, Master Eugene? is she not one worth having?" demanded Emmeline, sportively appealing to the young Earl, as she read to her father some of Mary's affectionate expressions and wishes in the conclusion.
And what a play! Surely, not to consider it too curiously, a play which struck, however sportively, the key-note of the coming Revolution; a play which, for the first time, displayed society literally in a state of bouleversement; a play in which the greed of the courtier, the venality of the judge, the empty glitter of the crown, were openly held up to scorn; a play in which all the wit, audacity, and success are on the side of the canaille; a play in which a lady's-maid is the heroine, and a valet canes his master, and a great nobleman is tricked, outwitted, and covered with ridicule!
It was at the dusk of evening that Paul found him at home and alone. Before the mighty man stood a pot of London porter; a candle, with an unregarded wick, shed its solitary light upon his labours; and an infant cat played sportively at his learned feet, beguiling the weary moments with the remnants of the spiral cap wherewith, instead of laurel, the critic had hitherto nightly adorned his brows.

"But I am going down to the beach to watch you all, and see that you don't drown," she added, sportively. "Oh Lu, aren't you afraid to go in?" asked little Grace, half shuddering at the very thought. "Why no, Gracie; I've bathed in the sea before; I went in a good many times last summer; don't you remember?" "Yes; but the waves there weren't half so big and strong."

She was accustomed to describe herself as "the last of his conquests," and though Lord Roehampton read characters and purposes with a glance, and was too sagacious to be deceived by any one, even by himself, his gratified taste, for he scarcely had vanity, cherished the bright illusion of which he was conscious, and he responded to Lady Montfort half sportively, half seriously, with an air of flattered devotion.
