In April they reappeared in London, and the house in Park
Lane was opened with great _eclat_. Of Phineas every one says that
of all living men he has been the most fortunate. The present writer
will not think so unless he shall soon turn his hand to some useful
task. Those who know him best say that he will of course go into
office before long.
Of poor Lady Laura hardly a word need be said. She lives at Saulsby
the life of a recluse, and the old Earl her father is still alive.
The Duke, as all the world knows, is on the very eve of success with
the decimal coinage. But his hair is becoming grey, and his back is
becoming bent; and men say that he will never live as long as his
uncle. But then he will have done a great thing,--and his uncle did
only little things. Of the Duchess no word need be said. Nothing will
ever change the Duchess.
