Lady Tatham has sent you the whole set they had them you may keep them as long as you like. And Lord Tatham has sent flowers. Just look at those roses!" Mrs. Penfold put down the basket heaped with them at Lydia's feet, while Susy demurely did the same with the lilies. "And there is a fascinating parcel of books for Susy all the new reviews! ... Oh! Mr. Faversham I declare why, I never saw you!"
Lady Tatham laughed. "Pygmalion had only just made her there had been no time to dress her." "We dressed her," said Mrs. Penfold decidedly, "from top to toe. Some day I must show you the drawings of it it's not like that at all. The girls think I'm silly to talk of it oh! they don't say it they're very good to me. But I can see they do. Only they've so many things to be proud of.
The dinner which appeared to Tatham interminable, and was really so short, by Victoria's orders, that Squire Andover felt resentfully he had had nothing to eat, at last broke up.

The Major was by no means sorry at the ludicrous issue of the quarrel. "It seems to me, sir," he said to Mr.
