9/42 But, Mary, my dear, how long are you going to stay here? But the next stage is at Mrs.Proudie's. I shan't meet you there, I suppose. And now, Frank, how's the governor ?" The gentleman called Frank declared that the governor was all right--"mad about the hounds, of course, you know." "Well, my dear, that's better than the hounds being mad about him, like the poor gentleman they've put into a statue. But talking of hounds, Frank, how badly they manage their foxes at Chaldicotes! I was out hunting all one day--" "You out hunting!" said the lady called Mary. |
