"I agree with you absolutely," said Lewis. "I never thought otherwise." "Good," said Wratislaw. "Now for my application. You've had the misfortune to fall between the two stools, Lewie.

And then there ensued a passage of light arms between the great man and Bertha which did not soothe Alice's vexation.
During this interval, count Wratislaw arrived in England, as ambassador from the emperor, to explain Leopold's title to the Spanish monarchy, supported by repeated entails and renunciations, confirmed in the most solemn treaties.
