Has he a broad face and turned-up nose, like your 'paysans Anglais' ?" "Judge for yourself, my lady--he stands at your elbow.

Mr.Halifax, let me present you to Lady Caroline Brithwood." If Lord Luxmore's fair daughter ever looked confounded in her life she certainly did at this minute.

"I am enchanted to meet you, Mr.Halifax; I adore 'le peuple.' Especially"-- with a sly glance at her husband, who, with Tory Dr.

Me comprenez vous ?" "Madame, je vous comprends." Her ladyship looked surprised.
