"Frisbie, we leave for Scotland by the four o'clock train, to-morrow morning. See to it."
"Yes, my lord. I beg your lordship's pardon, but is your lordship aware that it is the parliamentary?"
"Certainly; but it is also the first. See to it that your gorillas are ready. And—Frisbie."
"Yes, my lord."
"Go and engage a first-class carriage for our own exclusive use."
"Yes, my lord," said the man, with his hand still on the door, as if waiting further orders.
"Lord Vincent, I would be obliged if you would tell him to send one of my women to me," said Claudia coldly.
"Women? Oh! Here, Frisbie! send the female gorillas up."
"I said one of my women, the elder one, he may send."
"Frisbie, send the old female gorilla up, then."
