ROBINSON was at a ball, sitting along-side the Duchess of Castelfonda, a real live French duchess of the Faubourg St. Germain. Who was Mrs. Robinson? She was an American lady, and that is enough. Be assured she was no body whom you know. There is not the least possible allusion intended to the Robinsons of X place, who are in your set, or the Robinsons of Y. street, who are not. If you will be very curious, her husband came originally of an English family, and was related to the Mr. Robinson who made that famous tour with Messrs. Brown and Jones, a year or two ago. How did Mrs. Robinson come into her present position? Travelling for mere guide-book purposes is pretty plain sailing in these days of Murray and steam, when all the world speaks English, and the rest of mankind French. But travelling abroad, or living abroad, for the sake of foreign society, is another matter, and somewhat of a mystery still. Every man can go to Corinth now-a-days, but not every man or woman can see all the Corinthians. Overhaul the list of your own and your friends' experience; you will find some queer pages in it, and not a few puzzling contrasts. Mrs. M goes abroad, dines with a prince in one country, lives at an earl's house in another, and so forth. Mrs. Nevery way her equal, moving in precisely the same sphere at home, and fortified with as good antecedents and recommendations, takes very nearly the same tour without receiving the least attention worth talking of when she gets back. She thinks it very queer. But, queerer still, Mrs. O. who was altogether second set' compared with Mesdames M and N takes her tour, and knows twice as many great people as Mrs. M did; in fact, has scarcely any thing less than a duchess on her visiting-list. How shall we account for this? Without pretending to do so fully, we will suggest some partial explanations. In all circles, except the strictest court and diplomatic ones, where every thing and every body go by label and ticket, change of country |
