A sh Wednesday in the year 1847, the Honourable Charles Cunningham sat sipping his coffee in the restaurant of the Vendanges de Bourgogne. He was somewhat fatigued by the exertions that as le lion of the moment he had felt bound to make, exertions that had included a display of English eccentricity, and had culminated in a cotillon at a noble house in the Faubourg St. Germain, the daughter of which had been assigned to him by Parisian gossip as his future wife. Marriage, however, did not present itself to his contemplation as an urgent duty;and he sipped his coffee, reassured by the example of his brother Saxby, who with the responsibility of a family succession remained a bachelor. In any case the notion of marrying a French girl was preposterous;he was not to be flattered into an unsuitable alliance by compliments upon his French. Certainly he spoke French uncommonly well, devilishly well for an Englishman, he told himself; and he stroked his whiskers in complacent meditation.
