THE NEW WOMAN.
COLONEL.
Is my nephew at home?
WELLS.
No, Colonel; but I expect him every moment.
COLONEL.
Very well; I'll wait. Bah! what a stench of flowers! Sit down, Sylvester--if you can find a chair to carry twelve stone.
SYLVESTER.
Really, I feel a sort of trespasser.
COLONEL.
Sit down.
SYLVESTER .
COLONEL.
SYLVESTER.
I understood that he was up the river.
COLONEL.
Came back yesterday. Hope it's done him good. After all, he's my nephew, and I mean to knock the nonsense out of him.
SYLVESTER.
Colonel, you're very proud of him; and you have every reason to be. From all I hear, few men have won more distinction at Oxford.
COLONEL .
Proud of him? My dear Sylvester, that boy has more brains in his little finger than I have--gout. He takes after his aunt Caroline. You remember Caroline?
SYLVESTER.
Oh, I remember Lady Wargrave well.
COLONEL.
Wonderful woman, sir--a heart of gold--and a head--phew! Gerald takes after her. At Oxford, he carried everything before him.
SYLVESTER .
And now these women carry him behind them!
COLONEL.
But he's a Cazenove! He'll come right side up. We Cazenoves always do. We may go under every now and then, but we come up again! It's in the blood.
SYLVESTER.
COLONEL.
