"And if it had been you, Arthur," replied Reggie Forsyth of the Foreign Office, who was Barrington's best man, "I should have known at once that it was the twenty thousand a year which was the supreme attraction." There was a certain amount of Anglo-Indian sentiment afloat among the company, which condemned the marriage entirely as an outrage on decency.
And you think she is not that her narrow life has not dwarfed her." "Oh, you should listen to Mrs. Barrington's enthusiasm. You see, it was not an easy place to fill, after all. She was in some of the classes, but she held herself aloof. Then she taught a little among the younger day scholars, and kept a certain supervision in the evening study hour.
Isn't it a little unnecessary for you to adopt that tone with me?" Winston laughed, but made no answer, and their companion said nothing at all. Either the night wind had a drowsy effect on him, or he was moodily resentful, for it was not until Winston pulled up before the homestead whose lands he farmed indifferently under Barrington's supervision, that he opened his mouth.
"I can give you some green tea, though I am afraid it might be a good deal better than it is, and our crockery is not all you have been used to," he said. "You see, we have only time to think of one thing until the sowing is through." Miss Barrington's eyes twinkled. "And then?"

"He would not do that, and he had a reason, a good one," Marie answered. "It was necessary that Monsieur Barrington's whereabouts should be kept secret.

Oh, I have seen some snobbishness among what you call well-born girls.
"Then, monsieur, I will leave you. Citizen Latour will be distressed until he knows you are safe." Richard Barrington's patience was destined to be sufficiently tried.

For example, we are told, on one occasion, that some of them were "ordered to work every Sunday on the highway as a punishment!" See Barrington's History of New South Wales, p. 184.
