CHAPTER XXV. 

LADY SUSANNA IN LONDON. 

In spite of the caution which he had received from his friend and cousin Mrs. Houghton, Jack De Baron did go to Munster Court during the absence of Lord George, and there did encounter Lady Susanna. And Mrs. Houghton herself, though she had given such excellent advice, accompanied him. She was of course anxious to see Lady Susanna, who had always especially disliked her; and Jack himself was desirous of making the acquaintance of a lady who had been, he was assured, sent up to town on purpose to protect the young wife from his wiles. Both Mrs. Houghton and Jack had become very intimate in Munster Court, and there was nothing strange in their dropping in together even before lunch. Jack was of course introduced to Lady Susanna. The two ladies grimaced at each other, each knowing the other's feeling towards herself. Mary having suspected that Lady Susanna had been sent for in reference to this special friend, determined on being specially gracious to Jack. She had already, since Lady Susanna's arrival, told that lady that she was able to manage her own little affairs. Lady Susanna had said an unfortunate word as to the unnecessary expense of four wax candles when they two were sitting alone in the drawing-room. Lady George had said that it was pretty. Lady Susanna had expostulated gravely, and then Lady George had spoken out. "Dear Susanna, do let me manage my own little affairs." Of course the words had rankled, and of course the love which the ladies bore to each other had not been increased. Lady George was now quite resolved to show dear Susanna that she was not afraid of her duenna.

KAPITEL XXV. Lady Susanna i London. Trots den försiktighet, som han fått av sin vän och kusin mrs Houghton, begav sig Jack De Baron visserligen till Munster Court under lord Georges frånvaro, och där stötte hon på lady Susanna. Och fru Houghton sjelf, ehuru hon hade gifvit så utmärkta råd, åtföljde honom. Hon var naturligtvis angelägen om att få se lady Susanna, som alltid hade särskilt ogillat henne; och Jack själv var angelägen om att göra bekantskapen med en dam, som hade blivit, blev han försäkrad, skickad upp till staden med flit för att skydda den unga hustrun från hans list. Både mrs Houghton och Jack hade blivit mycket förtroliga i Munster Court, och det var ingenting underligt i att de kom tillsammans ens före lunchen. Jack blev naturligtvis presenterad för Lady Susanna. De båda damerna grimaserade på varandra, i det de båda kände varandras känsla mot sig själva. Mary hade misstänkt att lady Susanna hade skickats efter i hänvisning till denna speciella vän, fast besluten att vara särskilt nådig mot Jack. Hon hade redan, sedan lady Susannas ankomst, sagt den där damen, att hon kunde sköta sina egna små angelägenheter. Lady Susanna hade sagt ett olyckligt ord om den onödiga kostnaden för fyra vaxljus, då de två satt ensamma i salongen. Lady George hade sagt att det var vackert. Lady Susanna hade expostulerat gravt, och då hade lady George talat ut. "Kära Susanna, låt mig sköta mina egna små affärer." Naturligtvis hade orden rangordnat sig, och naturligtvis hade den kärlek, som damerna buro till varandra, icke ökats. Lady George var nu helt besluten att visa kära Susanna, att hon inte var rädd för sin duenna. 1. Vad är det för kapitel? 2. Var är Lady Susanna? 3. Vart tog han vägen? 4. Vem var hans kusin? 5.

CHAPTER XXV. Lady Susanna in London. Despite the caution given to him by his friend and cousin Mrs. Houghton, Jack De Baron certainly went to Munster Court during Lord George's absence, and there she encountered Lady Susanna. And Mrs. Houghton herself, though she had given such excellent advice, accompanied him. Of course, she was anxious to see Lady Susanna, who had always particularly disliked her; and Jack himself was anxious to make acquaintance with a lady who had been insured, he was sent up to the city on purpose to protect the young wife from his cunning. Both Mrs. Houghton and Jack had become very intimate in Munster Court, and there was nothing strange about them coming together even before lunch. Jack was, of course, introduced to Lady Susanna. The two ladies grimed at each other, feeling each other's sense towards themselves. Mary had suspected that Lady Susanna had been sent after in reference to this special friend, determined to be particularly gracious to Jack. She had already, after Lady Susanna's arrival, said that lady, that she could handle her own small affairs. Lady Susanna had said an unfortunate word about the unnecessary cost of four wax candles, as the two sat alone in the salon. Lady George had said it was beautiful. Lady Susanna had expostulated gravely, and then Lady George had spoken out. "Dear Susanna, let me run my own little business." Of course the words had ranked, and of course the love which the ladies bore to each other had not been increased. Lady George was now fully determined to show dear Susanna, that she was not afraid of her duen. 1. What chapter is this? 2. Where's Lady Susanna? 3. Where'd he go? 4. Who was his cousin? 5.
