"My dear Lady Meg, I am so sorry to have been absent when you called. I hope you have not been waiting long!" "Upon my soul!" cried the sultana of the inflammable name. "You're a corker! Do you mean to say, Miss Pat, that this buccaneer is the lady from the rural districts you were spouting about?" "Implicitly! I tell you she is ignorant and superstitious.
