The wealth even in that case would certainly carry the day, against the disgrace, and Lady Carbury would find reasons why poor Marie should not be punished for her father's sins even while enjoying the money which those sins had produced. But how different were the existing facts? Mr Melmotte was not at the galleys, but was entertaining duchesses in Grosvenor Square.
At last, another generation rose, and fierce family feuds broke out between the branches of the family. The Lord of Carbury now was Fineen, or Florence, the most celebrated man of his name, and one whose power naturally encroached upon the possession of the elder house. John, son of Thomas Fitzgerald of Desmond, seized the occasion to make good the enormous pretension of his family.
"What applies to Carbury applies to you by doing nothing you establish the fact that there's nothing to do; just as you create the difficulty by recognizing it." And he added, as Amherst sat silent: "Take Bessy away, and they'll have to see each other elsewhere." Amherst returned to Lynbrook with the echoes of this casuistry in his brain.
Immediately on her return she would tell her mother what she had done. But she considered herself to be emancipated from control. Among them they had robbed her of her lover.

But she broke off to add, with seeming irrelevance: "If you knew how I detest Blanche Carbury!" Mr. Langhope made a gesture of semi-acquiescence.
When you was going away, you was to be back at Carbury in a fortnight; and that is, oh, ever so long ago now. 'But I wrote to you, Ruby. 'What's letters? And the postman to know all as in 'em for anything anybody knows, and grandfather to be almost sure to see 'em. I don't call letters no good at all, and I beg you won't write 'em any more. 'Did he see them? 'No thanks to you if he didn't.
Oh, mamma, let us be friends, and I will tell you everything. Why should you grudge me my love? 'You have sent him back his brooch, said Lady Carbury hoarsely. 'He shall give it me again.
