The things we do!

But on the next day, after ten thousand men in clubs and coteries had
talked the news over; after the evening had repeated and improved the
delightful theme of our "morning contemporaries;" after Calypso and
Eucharis driving together in the Park, and reconciled now, had kissed
their hands to Lord Farintosh, and made him their compliments--after a
night of natural doubt, disturbance, defiance, fury--as men whispered to
each other at the club where his lordship dined, and at the theatre where
he took his recreation--after an awful time at breakfast in which Messrs.
Bowman, valet, and Todhunter and Henchman, captains of the Farintosh
bodyguard, all got their share of kicks and growling--behold Lady
Glenlivat came back to the charge again; and this time with such force
that poor Lord Farintosh was shaken indeed.
Her ladyship's ally was no other than Miss Newcome herself; from whom
Lord Farintosh's mother received, by that day's post, a letter, which she
was commissioned to read to her son.
