"Go too—why shouldn't she?"
"Oh; I didn't know. I thought that perhaps she mightn't like it."
"I don't see why she shouldn't like it. Besides, everything can't give way to her."
"Has Roger asked you?"
"No; but I'm sure he'd be pleased to have us if I proposed that we should all go."
"Not me, mother!"
"Yes; you especially."
"Not if I know it, mother. What on earth should I do at Carbury Manor?"
"Madame Melmotte told me last night that they were all going down to Caversham to stay three or four days with the Longestaffes. She spoke of Lady Pomona as quite her particular friend."
"Oh—h! that explains it all."
