ABSTRACT
At night they visited the rooms,41 more dressed and more looked at than any persons in the circle. Mr. Bradford was a tolerable whist-player,42 and Julia danced like a sylph. Sir Lionel was her partner; not because he liked the trouble of dancing, or the fatigue of saying civil things, but for a more important reason – he excited the jealousy and mortified the vanity of lady Penelope Pryer.
