"It was mamma and Mr.Morton arranged it all." "Oh my dear it was you and the Senator," said Lady Augustus, ready for the occasion. "Miss Trefoil," said the lord, "let us have it all out at once.
Are you taking Goarly's part ?" "Taking Goarly's part!" ejaculated the Major. Arabella affected to give a little start, as though frightened by the Major's enthusiasm.
