The Restoration seemed to him at first so insecure that he dared not go to Paris to claim his debts; but after Napoleon's death he tried to turn his father's collection of autographs into money, though not understanding the deep philosophy which had thus mixed up I O U's and copies of verses.

He thought of all the weary months of waiting, all the long comedy of telegrams and express letters, the far-off flirtations of the cosy corner, the baffled elopement to Paris. "Then you won't marry me?" "I cannot marry a man I neither love nor respect." "You don't love me!" Her spontaneous kiss in his sober Oxford study seemed to burn on his angry lips. "No, I never loved you."

I could find no words worth saying to him in reply. "What will they be saying about us now in London and Paris?" he went on.
