"She is a very good girl," said Lord Fawn.
"So true and genuine,—and so full of spirit. I will come on the other side because of my parasol and the sun. There, that will do. We have an hour nearly before going to church;—haven't we? I suppose you will go to church."
"I intend it," said Lord Fawn.
"It is so nice to go to church," said Lizzie. Since her widowhood had commenced, she had compromised matters with the world. One Sunday she would go to church, and the next she would have a headache and a French novel and stay in bed. But she was prepared for stricter conduct during at least the first months of her newly-married life.
"My dear Lizzie," began Lord Fawn, "since I last saw you I have been twice with Mr. Camperdown."
"You are not going to talk about Mr. Camperdown to-day?"
"Well;—yes. I could not do so last night, and I shall be back in London either to-night or before you are up to-morrow morning."
"I hate the very name of Mr. Camperdown," said Lizzie.
"I am sorry for that, because I am sure you could not find an honester lawyer to manage your affairs for you. He does everything for me, and so he did for Sir Florian Eustace."
"That is just the reason why I employ some one else," she answered.
