I have sent a servant to seek her through the house.

Her delay has made you miss the train, your grace," said Lady Belgrade, in visible annoyance.
"That does not much matter, so that the delay has not been caused by her indisposition," said the young duke, earnestly.
"No indisposition could possibly excuse such eccentricity of conduct at such a time.

Salome is moving somewhere about the house, according to her crazy custom," said Lady Belgrade.
"I really cannot hear that sweet girl so cruelly maligned, even by her aunt," said the duke, with a deprecating smile.
As they spoke, the Baron Von Levison appeared and said: "I should have been very glad to have seen you off, duke, and to have thrown a metaphorical old shoe after you; but your bride seems to have taken so long to tie her bonnet strings, that she has made you miss your train.

And now you can't go until the night express, and I really can't wait to see you off by that.

I have an appointment at the Bank of England at four.
