I am ashamed to give you all this trouble about such a trifling matter." She rapped her knuckles impatiently on the table. "Never mind about the trouble," she exclaimed tartly.

'Are you you aren't are you Rollo paused. 'Are you thinking of getting married, uncle? Mr Galloway's gaze was still on the ceiling. 'A great deal of nonsense, he yelled severely, 'is talked about men lowering themselves by marrying actresses. I was a guest at a supper-party last night at which an actress was present.

The dishes were changed for beef, red currants and spinach.
Laycock had come in about two in the morning and had described to Leo the festivity devised by Lord Holme in honour of Miss Schley, at which he had just been present.

But, after this deception, she had given a looser rein to her temper.
The supper-party broke up about two o'clock, and Miss Raymond, the lady of the flamingo hat, was the only one who showed any effects from all the wine that had been consumed.

Here is one of a supper-party in 1781: "We had a pretty group of Papists Lord Petres at the head of them some Papists reformed, and one Jew.
