Lactimel had a theory that every poor brother might eat of the fat and drink of the sweet, might lie softly, and wear fine linen, if only some body or bodies could be induced to do their duties; and Ugolina was equally strong in a belief that if the mind were properly looked to, all appreciation of human ill would cease.
Charley and the heiress had twice been in motion, and had twice stopped, and still they were going on; Ugolina had refreshed herself with many delicious observations, and Lactimel had thrice paused to advocate dancing for the million, and still they went on; the circle was gradually left to themselves, and still they went on; people stood round, some admiring and others pitying; and still they went on.
'They are the bright stars of His immediate handiwork, said Ugolina; 'and if our dim eyes could read them aright, they would whisper to us the secret of His love. 'Yes, I dare say they would, said Katie, who felt, perhaps, a little disappointed because Charley lingered a while shaking hands with Mrs. Val and Clementina Golightly. It was, however, but for a moment.
Val, or even Mrs. A. Tudor, encountered Lactimel and Ugolina Neverbend on equal terms. There is a distressing habitual humility in many unmarried ladies of an uncertain age, which at the first blush tells the tale against them which they are so painfully anxious to leave untold.

What Ugolina could or could not discern about the Jews was communicated perhaps to Madame Jaquetanape or to Lactimel, but not to Gertrude or to Mrs. Val; for the latter, taking Gertrude apart into a corner as it were of the sofa, began confidentially to repeat to her her fears about her husband. 'I see, my dear, said she, 'that you don't like my speaking about it.
What business had any Ugolina Neverbend to interfere between her and her mamma? Then came the supper. There was a great rush to get downstairs, but Charley was so clever that even this did not put him out.
'No; not so big, said Lactimel; 'but quite as nicely kept. 'I think the pigs would get in, said Katie. 'It would be much easier, and more important too, to keep their minds nicely, said Ugolina; and there the pigs could never get in. 'No; I suppose not, said Katie. 'I don't know that, said Lactimel.
