Roger Carbury's half-formed plan of keeping Henrietta at home while Lady Carbury and Sir Felix went to dine at Caversham fell to the ground.
'And yet it is so important that one should be able to judge correctly of one's own work! I can at any rate trust myself to be honest, which is more perhaps than can be said of all the critics. 'Dishonesty is not the general fault of the critics, Lady Carbury, at least not as far as I have observed the business. It is incapacity.
It was to be carried out only in the event of Hetta's yielding to his prayer. But he had in fact not made a prayer, and Hetta had certainly yielded nothing. When the evening came, Lady Carbury started with her son and daughter, and Roger was left alone. In the ordinary course of his life he was used to solitude.
'Then why does he not go to Mr Melmotte? 'I suppose he is delicate about it on the score of money.
