I want you," passing his hand over his forehead, uncertainly, "to look at this thing calmly. We'll put feeling aside. Because because it matters more than life or death to me." He was silent a moment.
"I believe him to be utterly an adventurer, a man without means and without principle, upon the whole about as bad a man as you may meet. I give you my word, Grey, that I don't think I know a worse man. He's going to marry her for her money; then he will beggar her, after that he'll ill-treat her, and yet what can I do?"
