And even Goldsheiner with Lady Julia had nothing of a job in comparison with this which he was expected to perform. And then if they should be wrong about the girl's fortune! He almost repented. He did repent, but he had not the courage to recede. 'How about money though? he said hoarsely. 'You have got some?
'Very well; very well. I can't ask you to stay, because a partner from the house of Todd, Brehgert, and Goldsheiner is waiting to see me, about matters which are rather more important than this of yours.

'They tell me, said the old man, 'that one of those Goldsheiner girls will have a lot of money. 'A Jewess, suggested Nidderdale. 'What difference does that make? 'Oh no; not in the least if the money's really there. Have you heard any sum named, sir? The old man only grunted. 'There are two sisters and two brothers. I don't suppose the girls would have a hundred thousand each.
I've had it in my mind for the last fortnight. 'And how is it to be? Oh, Felix, I hope it may succeed. 'It was your own idea, you know. We're going to; where do you think? 'How can I think? Boulogne. 'You say that just because Goldsheiner went there. That wouldn't have done at all for us. We're going to New York. 'To New York! But when will you be married?

So was Goldsheiner a Jew, whom Lady Julia Start had married, or at any rate had been one a very short time before he ran away with that lady.
He hunts, and Damask says that he is one of the best shots at Hurlingham. I never met old Mr Goldsheiner anywhere. 'I have. 'Oh, yes, I dare say. Mr Melmotte, of course, entertains all the City people.
'That is a question very hard to answer. 'People do it every day. Lionel Goldsheiner ran away the other day with Lady Julia Start, and everybody visits them. 'Oh yes, people do run away, and it all comes right.
