'I haven't, she said, adjusting her bracelets, while she flashed a rapier-glance at him, 'but if I had, I should say precisely the same. Lord Rupert will you kindly keep Sir John in order? Lord Rupert plunged in with the gallant floundering motion characteristic of him, while Mr. Wharncliffe followed like a modern gunboat behind a three-decker. That young man was a delusion.
Delightful as it was, and as Sarah's face was, all luminous with grateful and glad feeling, Matilda through the whole of it was intent upon Mr. Wharncliffe and his motions; and the instant Sarah had left her she sprang to his side. "Are you busy, sir? can I talk to you?" "Talk?" said Mr. Wharncliffe; "then we want some time for it, do we?" "If you please, sir; a little."
