Chapter XX
LEAR AND JULIET Susan dismissed her admirers at the races with some difficulty, especially the tenacious marquis, who tenderly squeezed her hand, saying: "Were I twenty years younger, I would not thus be set aside." "Fie, Marquis!" she returned. "These other people are dull, while you are charmingly wicked." "You flatter me," he cackled, detaining her, to the impatience of the thick-set man who was waiting to escort the young woman back to town.
