He had a friendly feeling towards her, and a respect for her mother, that made him shrink from allowing her to become a victim, especially when he would himself be the gainer; and, on the other hand, he could not endure to betray a friend, while he knew that his wife, his father, and his sister would be horrified at his secrecy.
