An exhibition of Miss F.'s feelings, likings, and instincts, took place at Mrs. G.'s house on the occasion of a morning call. Mrs. B., who happened to be there at the time, and who really had seen a good deal of high life, was so much amused that unintentionally she communicated her own feeling to Colonel G., who, we have seen, by his dexterity in turning the tables on poor Mrs. B., was by no means destitute of acuteness or satirical power. He soon comprehended the situation, and did his best to aid Mrs. B. in drawing out Miss Freeman. The conversation proceeded in a manner that may be guessed at by the following imperfect report: 'Well, but, my dear,' observed Mrs. B., 'I should like to hear some of the funny talk of the "most noble" youth that amused your lady friends so much; can't you tell us something of what he said?' 'Oh,' replied the young lady, 'I don't remember all he said.' 'But,' returned Mrs. B., 'we don't ask for all; can't you tell us something of it? You surely must remember something, and then perhaps we should be able to guess at something more.' After a pause Miss F. said, 'I remember, amongst other funny things the young Marquis said, speaking of all the girls present, that "the young fillies were rather a promising lot taken altogether."' 'Did he really say that?' asked Mrs. B.; 'very amusing wasn't it, Colonel G.?' 'Amusing and complimentary too,' returned the Colonel. 'He must have been a delightful young man,' remarked Mrs. B. 'He was indeed, Mrs. B.,' said the young lady. 'But, come, tell us something more; don't be so stingy with your recollections: pray give us a little more.' 'I wish I could,' returned Miss F., 'but I've such a bad memory. Oh, I do call to mind. He said Miss Marks "went right well on her pasterns."' 'What an amusing fellow!' said the elder lady. 'You can't think what an amusing creature he was,' continued Miss F. 'I begin to have some notion,' replied Mrs. B. 'Oh, but you don't know what he said of Miss Smithers.' 'How should I?' returned Mrs. B. 'I wasn't so fortunate, you know, as to be one of his intimate friends.' 'That's true,' said Miss F. 'But,' continued the elder lady, 'let us hear what he said.' 'It was so funny that we all laughed.' 'How tantalizing you are! Why don't you repeat it, that we may laugh too?' said Mrs. B. 'Well,' replied Miss F., laughing, 'he said "she was bluff in the hocks."' 'Said "she was bluff in the hocks!"' said Mrs. B., as soon as she could recover from her laughter (in which her friends joined). 'No wonder you were all charmed with him; it is scarcely possible to imagine a more fascinating or witty young gentleman. But what did he mean, my dear, by bluff in the hocks?' 'I'm sure I can't say, Mrs. B.; but I know everybody thought it very funny and very amusing. I don't think anyone knew exactly what he did mean, but everyone laughed most heartily. I know I did.'
