'For no one can doubt you plagued your father; I was out of my teens, fortunately, before you played écarté. 'Come, good old Fyshe, said Count Mirabel, 'take a glass of claret, and do not look so fierce. You know very well that Charley learned everything of you. 'He never learned from me to spend a fortune upon an actress, said his lordship.
Not even when the head waiter, shaking with apprehension, appeared with cocktails made by himself, in glasses that he himself had had to wipe, did Mr. Fyshe, absorbed in the easy urbanity of the Duke, notice that anything was amiss. Neither did his guests. For Dr.
