The Pakenhams, full of question and comment, were intelligently amassing well-assorted impressions of the country that was new to them. Sir Basil, though cheerfully pleased with all to which his attention was drawn, showed no particular interest in his surroundings. His concentration was entirely for his regained friend.
They were at every ball, and gave one or two themselves. Above all, they enjoyed society in that delightful form which is confined to large houses.
