Excerpt: . . . nt he flirt with Lady Mount-Rhyswicke He was thoroughly happy; his Helene, his belle Marquise, sat across the table from him sending messages to him with her eyes. He adored her, but he liked Lady Mount-Rhyswicke--he liked everybody and everything in the world. He liked Pedlow particularly, and it no longer troubled him that the fat man should be a friend of Madame de Vaurigard. Pedlow was a character and a wit as well. Mellin laughed heartily at everything the Honorable Chandler Pedlow said. This is life, remarked the young man to his fair neighbor. What is Sittin round a table, eatin and drinkin Ah, lovely skeptic! She looked at him strangely, but he continued with growing enthusiasm: I mean to sit at such a table as this, with such a chef, with such wines--to know one crowded hour like this is to live! Not a thing is missing; all this swagger furniture, the rich atmosphere of smartness about the whole place; best of all, the company.

I suppose--he sipped his champagne with his head a little to one side as though judging its quality--I suppose I ve been more or less a dilettante. I Ve knocked about the world a good bit. . . .
