Is it you, John? Is there anything particular wanted?”，"Whoever he was, he hardly excelled in breeding," says Lady Rodney; "to ask your name without an introduction! I never heard of such a thing. Very execrable form, indeed. In your place I should not have given it. And to manage his horse so badly that he nearly ran you down. He could hardly be any one we know. Some petty squire, no doubt."，"You wish me to sing to you," she says, gently, yet so unsmilingly that the duchess wonders what has come to the child.
