29 A SEQUEL TO XLIX., This, and a great deal more of such-like schooling How to hush up a faux pas in high life, — Lord Henry did vouchsafe ;—and the Duke, cooling, _ Agreed to spare the honour of his wife ; But as he would not have Don Juan fooling Again that way, and thus renew a strife By which the morning’s patch- work would be undone, *T was settled he should leave forthwith for London, L. The Duke was really a good easy man, And bore his horns with an exceeding grace :— Perhaps it is by far the better plan — ‘To wear beneath that emblem a calm face. With satisfaction did Lord Henry scan This coolness after what had taken place ; And he resolved that Lady Adeline Should stay in ignorance of the whole scene. LI. At breakfast, when the guests were all assembled, Juan announced that he should leave at noon ;— The Lady Adeline turned pale and trembled, And fidgetted about with her tea-spoon : The Duchess of Fitz-Fulke full well dissembled Her grief at parting with the youth so soon ; And on Aurora Raby’s cheek a flush Was seen—so slight, it scarcely was a blush.
