Father Stafford

CHAPTER II
3/14

"I'm sure you'll like him." "You young fellows call him the Pope, don't you ?" asked his lordship, who was a genial man.
"Yes.

You don't mind, do you?
It's not as if we called him the Archbishop of Canterbury, you know." "I shouldn't consider even that very personal," said the Bishop, smiling.
Dinner was announced.

Eugene gave the Bishop's wife his arm, whispering to Claudia as he passed, "Age before impudence"; and that young lady found that she had fallen to the lot of Stafford, whereat she was well pleased.

Kate was paired with Haddington, and Mr.Morewood with Aunt Jane.

The Bishop, of course, escorted the hostess.
"And who," said he, almost as soon as he was comfortably settled to his soup, "is the young lady sitting by our friend the Father--the one, I mean, with dark hair, not Miss Bernard?
I know her." "That's Lady Claudia Territon," said Mrs.Lane.
