As you manage it, so you will, madam, said Lord G——.
Don't expose yourself, my lord: we are before company. Lady L——, you have nothing but trumps in your hand.
Let me say a word or two to you, madam, said Lord G—— to her.
I am all obedience, my lord.
She arose. He would have taken her hand: she put it behind her.
Not your hand, madam?
I can't spare it.
He flung from her, and went out of the room.
Lord bless me, said she, returning to the card-table with a gay unconcern, what strange passionate creatures are these men!
Charlotte, said Lady L——, I wonder at you.
