"I'll Give You a Hundred Guinea Brooch" There had been another "affair" in the house that morning, though of a nature very different to the "rumpus" which had occurred between Lord Fawn and Lady Eustace.

Lady Fawn had been closeted with Lucy, and had expressed her opinion of the impropriety of Frank Greystock's visit.

"I suppose he came to see his cousin," said Lady Fawn, anxious to begin with some apology for such conduct.
"I cannot tell," said Lucy.

"Perhaps he did.

I think he said so.
I think he cared more to see me." Then Lady Fawn was obliged to express her opinion, and she did so, uttering many words of wisdom.
Frank Greystock, had he intended to sacrifice his prospects by a disinterested marriage, would have spoken out before now.
