"By the bow of Diana, Major, I believe you are off the scent, though you heard me make the bet with Sir Peter Tedril on Trevalyon's wife, I bet my dog against a whip he'd take this ball as a door to trot her out by, and so make his peace with Mrs. Grundy." "You and your dog are always game, and I take sides with you; if he brings her out at all it will be here," he said, absently.
Meanwhile Sir Peter Tedril had "come hastily to the little group around Madame, just as she was saying jestingly to Delrose "Come, George, own up, you and the nun are a black pair. Hadn't I better go and pat and purr over dear Sir Lionel?"
