Perhaps he liked it;--but any man endowed with that power of appreciation which we call sympathy, would have felt it to be as cold as though it had come from a figure on a glass window.
The dinner was announced.

Mr.Morton was honoured with the hand of Lady Augustus.

The Senator handed the old lady into the dining-room and Mr.Mainwaring the younger lady,--so that Arabella was sitting next to her lover.

It had all been planned by Morton and acceded to by his grandmother.

Mr.Gotobed throughout the dinner had the best of the conversation, though Lady Augustus had power enough to snub him on more than one occasion.
