That day, after dinner, Mr. Buxton began to ask his opinion of Erminia's appearance. Frank answered at once: "She is a dazzling little creature.

He rubbed his hands and drank two extra glasses of wine. "We'll have the Brownes to dinner, as usual, next Thursday," said he, "I am sure your mother would have been hurt if we had omitted it; it is now nine years since they began to come, and they have never missed one Christmas since.
