Landale handed to her the thin fluttering sheets, voluminously crossed and re-crossed with fine Italian handwriting: "From Tanty," ejaculated Miss Sophia, "Oh my dear Rupert!" "Read it," said Rupert peremptorily.

This afternoon comes my Lord of Manningham, nicknamed _King of Bath_, to "drink a dish of tea," as he has it, with his "dear old friend Miss O'Donoghue." Tanty has been here three weeks, and he has only just discovered her existence, and remembered their tender friendship.

And so Lord Manningham comes to tea, and Tanty orders me to remain and see her "old friend" instead of going to ride with the widow Hambledon.

The widow Hambledon and I are everywhere together, and she knows all the most entertaining people in Bath, whereas Madeleine, whom I have hardly seen at all except at night, when I am so dead tired that I go to sleep as soon as my head touches the pillow (I vow Tanty's manner of speech is catching), Miss Madeleine keeps to her own select circle, and turns up her haughty little nose at _my_ friends.
