Mr Warne is publishing my book.
-
Oh, that book!
-
I can hardly wait till it's finished and forgotten.
-
I don't understand you, Beatrix.
-
Your father and I have introduced you to so many suitable young men
-
of your class, young men of fortune, and impeccably good family.
-
Oh, certainly, like that charming fellow,
-
Lionel Stokely.
-
Lionel is a particular favourite of his uncle, the earl,
-
whom we visit every summer at Stokely Court.
-
Oh, and I do regret terribly that I didn't accept Harry Haddon-Bell.
-
Harry's great-grandfather went to Sandhurst.
