The English world at times betrayed a restiveness in the walled pathway of virtue; for, alas, it closely neighbours the French; only a Channel, often dangerously smooth, to divide: but it is not perverted for long; and the English Funds are always constant and a tower. Would they be suffered to be so, if libertinism were in the ascendant? Colney Durance was acquainted with the Duvidney ladies.
She was distressed; she moaned: 'My girl! my girl: I should wish to leave her with one who is more fixed the old-fashioned husband. New ideas must come in politics, but in Society! and for women! And the young having heads, are the most endangered. Nesta vows her life to it! Dartrey supports her! 'See Colney, said Victor. 'Odd, Colney does you good; some queer way he has.
'He takes it kinder tickled, said Fenellan, joining the group and grasping Nesta's hand with a warmth that thrilled her and set her guessing. 'A taste of his favourite Cayenne lollypop, Colney; it fetches the tear he loves to shed, or it gives him digestive heat in the bag of his literary receptacle-fearfully relaxed and enormous!
'Work! Victor ejaculated: he never could reach to a right comprehension of labour, in regard to the very unremunerative occupation of literature. Colney he did not want, and he let him go, as Nataly noticed, without a sign of the reluctance he showed when the others, including Fenellan, excused themselves.

It was the very manner to sow seed of imitativeness in the girl, devoted as she was to her father. Nataly sighed, foreseeing evil, owning it a superstition, feeling it a certainty.
