After we had entered the house Wells continued his account of the proceedings at Aunt Pennefather's. No sooner had the amiable mistress of the house recovered from her fainting fit, which held for some time, and was eventually overcome by the application of hartshorn and Eau de Cologne, the burning of feathers, the sprinkling of water, and all the established remedies recommended by the Humane Society for the restoration of hysterical ladies, than she screamed out the name of Millicent Maloney, in a tone emulating that of a peacock in anticipation of rain; but, although she had regained the use of her voice, her intellectual faculties continued in a lamentable state of obfuscation - her eyes rolled in every direction-her fists remained clenched-and the first coherent phrase which the anxious attendants could understand was this, “Who the devil is it with?'

Ridiculous!' said her mistress. “Didn't she lunch with me at half-past one?' “I only said “Stuff? Nonsense!' exclaimed the lady. 'Lift me up-raise my head. Where's Philip? Where's the note? Oh, here. What on earth shall I do-what shall I do ?' Sept.-VOL. LI. NO. CCI, B |
