"I hope so."
"Whom would you like to have here?"
"I don't want any one, papa."
"You will be very sad without somebody. Would you like the Finns?"
"If you please, papa. I like her. He never talks anything but politics."
"He is none the worse for that, Mary. I wonder whether Lady Mabel Grex would come."
"Lady Mabel Grex!"
"Do you not like her?"
"Oh yes, I like her;—but what made you think of her, papa?"
"Perhaps Silverbridge would come to us then."
