ng billiards with Barrington Erle,
rapped his cue down on the floor, and made a speech. "I never was
so sick of anything in my life as I am of Lady Eustace. People have
talked about her now for the last six months."

"Only three months, Lord Chiltern," said Lady Glencora, in a tone of
rebuke.

"And all that I can hear of her is, that she has told a lot of lies
and lost a necklace."

"When Lady Chiltern loses a necklace worth ten thousand pounds there
will be talk of her," said Lady Glencora.

At that moment Madame Max Goesler entered the room and whispered a
word to the hostess. She had just come from the duke, who could not
bear the racket of the billiard-room. "Wants to go to bed, does he?
Very well. I'll go to him."

"He seems to be quite fatigued with his fascination about Lady
Eustace."

"I call that woman a perfect God-send. What should we have done
without her?" This Lady Glencora said almost to herself as she
prepared to join the duke. The duke had only one more observation to
make before he retired for the night. "I'm afraid, you know, that
your friend hasn't what I call a good time before her, Glencora."

In this opinion of the Duke of Omnium, the readers of this story will
perhaps agree.
