"The Hours try me, Madam. I have been used always to go to Bed early."
"How early?" put in Mr. Arbuthnot.
"Nine o'clock, Sir."
"And now?—at Lady Betty's?"
"Not till Two or Three in the Morning; sometimes Four."
He shrugged his Shoulders, and drew in his Breath.
"My Dear," remonstrated Mrs. Arbuthnot gently, "I am not sure we have any Right to inquire into the Details of her Ladyship's Household."
He smiled, and looked brimfull of Questions he wanted to ask.
