I do assure you, I think I was happier at home; only, that one gets, I don't know how, a notion, one's nobody out of Lon'on.

But, after all, there's many drawbacks in Lon'on--and many people are very impertinent, I'll allow--and if there's a woman in the world I hate, it is Mrs.Dareville--and, if I was leaving Lon'on, I should not regret Lady Langdale neither--and Lady St.James is as cold as a stone.

Colambre may well say FROZEN CIRCLES--these sort of people are really very cold, and have, I do believe, no hearts.

I don't verily think there is one of them would regret me more--Hey! let me see, Dublin--the winter Merrion Square--new furnished--and the summer--Clonbrony Castle!' Lord Colambre and Miss Nugent waited in silence till her mind should have worked itself clear.

One great obstacle had been removed; and now that the yellow damask had been taken out of her imagination, they no longer despaired.
