Wilson.
"And who is Jones?"
"A clergyman, I suppose, of the safe sort. I don't know that anything else
is necessary." From which it will be seen that Mr. Wilson had his own
opinion about church matters, and also that people very high up in the
world were concerning themselves about poor Lizzie's affairs.
Lady Eustace did go to Lady Glencora's evening party, in spite of Mr.
Camperdown and all her difficulties. Lady Chiltern had been quite right in
saying that Lizzie was not the woman to show the white feather. She went,
knowing that she would meet Lord Fawn, and she did wear the diamonds. It
was the first time that they had been round her neck since the occasion in
respect to which Sir Florian had placed them in her hands, and it had not
been without much screwing up of her courage that she had resolved to
appear on this occasion with the much talked-of ornament upon her person.
It was now something over a fortnight since she had parted with Lord Fawn
at Fawn Court; and, although they were still presumed to be engaged to
marry each other, and were both living in London, she had not seen him
since. A sort of message had reached her, through Frank Greystock, to the
effect that Lord Fawn thought it as well that they should not meet till
the matter was settled.
