Immediately on her arrival at the Temple she went to the post office and added the sovereign to it.
The Honourable John Ruffin arrived from Buda-Pesth, looking the browner for the change, and in very good spirits.

He brought the friendliest messages and Hungarian gifts to Pollyooly and the Lump from the Esmeralda, and was able to assure them that she was in excellent health, and enjoying a genuine triumph.
When he had delivered the Esmeralda's gifts and assured Pollyooly of her prosperity, there came a short silence; then Pollyooly said: "And the Moldo-Wallachian, sir ?" The fine grey eyes of the Honourable John Ruffin twinkled, as he said gravely: "The Moldo-Wallachian has returned to Moldo-Wallachia.

When the ideal was once more clearly presented to the Esmeralda, the attractions of the Moldo-Wallachian faded as flowers fade in a drought." "I'm glad she isn't going to marry a foreigner," said Pollyooly with true patriotism.
"She would never be happy in Moldo-Wallachia," said the Honourable John Ruffin with conviction.
"Oh, no, sir," said Pollyooly.
There was a pause; then he said: "And how did you leave Mr.Vance ?" "Oh, he was all right, sir," said Pollyooly.
"Oh, he was, was he?
Did you by any chance come across a young lady of the name of Flossie while you were staying at Chelsea ?" "Yes, sir.

He goes past the shop with an air of cold dignity--he says he does; and he's going to Scotland to wear a kilt to get quite cured--he says he is," said Pollyooly quickly.
"It sounds most efficacious," said the Honourable John Ruffin.
