I thought once that she might have come to a liking for Samuel Barmby, but now I don't think she ever will, and I believe it's her friends that are to blame for it. One thing I know, that she'll never meet with any one who will make her so good a husband as he would.
By a miracle he had as yet escaped worse damage to health than a severe cold, caught one night after heroic drinking. That laid him by the heels for a time, and the cough still clung to him. In less than two years he would command seven thousand pounds, and a share in the business now conducted by Samuel Barmby. What need to stint himself whilst he felt able to enjoy life?
Yet one habit he possessed which foreshadowed the intellectual composition of his son, he loved to write letters to the newspapers. At very long intervals one of these communications achieved the honour of type, and then Mr Barmby was radiant with modest self-approval. He never signed such letters with his own name, but chose a pseudonym befitting the subject.
'Why should you take any trouble about me? said Nancy. 'I can do nothing for you in return. 'You can. She looked anxiously at him, for his voice sounded ominous. 'What? 'You can acknowledge that you never did me justice. 'It's true that I didn't, she answered languidly; speaking as though the concession mattered little. Barmby brightened.
Nancy raised her eyes and looked steadily at him. 'Then I must bear the punishment. For a minute Barmby enjoyed her suffering. Of his foreseen effects, this one had come nearest to succeeding.

Victor clung to the theme because it hinted of next door to his lost Idea. He rubbed the back of his head, fancying a throb there. Are civilized creatures incapable of abstract thought when their social position is dubious?
He gave no grip to Colney, who groaned at cheap Donnish sarcasm, and let him go, after dealing him a hard pellet or two in a cracker-covering. There was Victor all over the field netting his ephemerae! And he who feeds on them, to pay a price for their congratulations and flatteries, he is one of them himself!
