If he succeeded in recovering the stones and his conscience bit a little too deeply for comfort why, he could pay over to Hawksley twenty per cent. of the price Karlov demanded. He could take it or leave it. In a case like this to a bachelor without dependents money was no object. All his life he had wanted a fine emerald to play with, and here was an opportunity to acquire two!

Then with his blue jay, his orange, his dog, he turned away. Now he first became aware of the changed attitude of his late dependents. It did not distress him. It seemed wholly natural, this icy withdrawal of their fellowship. Why should they push about him any longer? He was, instead, rather concerned to defend his spendthrift courses.

He had also forgotten that he had many dependents: his whole family lived on him. Could he leave his mother, his son, his brother, and his cousins? In company with Alypius and Nebridius, he sincerely lamented that this fair dream of coenobite life was impracticable.
It's your way of glossing over the ethical position. It's the sort of way a woman always does gloss over her ethical positions. You're all dependents all of you. By instinct. Only you good ones shirk. You shirk a straightforward and decent return for what you get from us taking refuge in purity and delicacy and such-like when it comes to payment." "Mr.
