"I am very glad I have seen Mr. Argand, and much obliged to you for doing what, I fear, must have been little short of a penance for my sake."
"You mean the "at-home"; well, that was certainly rather trying. The idea of hearing you discussed in that manner, some of them even suggesting that you were a man! But I had really almost forgotten the "at-home."
