Lord Alfred Grendall was also to be a guest, and Mr Cohenlupe, who went about a good deal with Melmotte.

Nidderdale, Carbury, Montague, and Miles Grendall were members of the club, and gave the dinner.

No expense was spared.

Herr Vossner purveyed the viands and wines,--and paid for them.

Lord Nidderdale took the chair, with Fisker on his right hand, and Melmotte on his left, and, for a fast-going young lord, was supposed to have done the thing well.
