Humorous dialogues of the flippant bachelor Carter with his flirtatious friend Dolly and other acquaintances. Good practice for modern readers in picking up implication in Victorian writing, as the large gaps make it clear where the reader is meant to fill in something that isn't being said.

We were spanking round the Park behind Ready and Rhino. Miss Phaeton’s horses are very large; her groom is very small, and her courage is indomitable. I am no great hand at driving myse...
Lady Mickleham is back from her honeymoon. I mean young Lady Mickleham—Dolly Foster (well, of course I do. Fancy the Dowager on a honeymoon!) She signified the fact to me by ordering me to call on her at teatime; she had, she said, something which she wished to consult me about confidentially. I went. “I didn’t know you were back,” I observed. “Oh,...
