The spirit which produces the satire is honest enough, but the very desire which moves the satirist to do his work energetically makes him dishonest. In other respects The Way We Live Now was, as a satire, powerful and good. The character of Melmotte is well maintained. The Beargarden is amusing, and not untrue. The Longestaffe girls and their friend, Lady Monogram, are amusing, but exaggerated.

On receipt of a message from his American correspondent he had gone down to Liverpool, and had there awaited Fisker's arrival, taking counsel with his friend Mr Ramsbottom. In the meantime Hetta's letter was lying at the Beargarden, Paul having written from his club and having omitted to desire that the answer should be sent to his lodgings.

During the minority of King Gun, Johannes Talpa, in the monastery of Beargarden, where at the age of fourteen he had made his profession and from which he never departed for a single day throughout his life, composed his celebrated Latin chronicle in twelve books called "De Gestis Penguinorum." The monastery of Beargarden lifts its high walls on the summit of an inaccessible peak.

He turned away in disgust, and had himself driven to the Beargarden. In his misery he had recourse to game-pie and a pint of champagne for his lunch. "Halloa, old fellow, what is this I hear about you?" said Nidderdale, coming in and sitting opposite to him. "I don't know what you have heard." "You are going to second the address. What made them pick you out from the lot of us?"

'What's the use of taking such a lot of trouble? said Dolly. 'Of course he's a bad fellow. Most fellows are bad fellows in one way or another. 'But he's bad all round, said the bitter enemy. 'And so this is to be the end of the Beargarden, said Lord Nidderdale with a peculiar melancholy. 'Dear old place! I always felt it was too good to last.

But no sooner had the offer been made by Lord Silverbridge than he saw his own indiscretion. Tifto was very well for Chester or Newmarket, very well perhaps for the Beargarden, but not very well for an electioneering expedition.

His mother would understand how great would be the expense of such a trip, and might perhaps add something to his stock of money. He determined that he could tell his mother; that is, if Didon should bring him full change for the cheque. He walked into the Beargarden exactly at four o'clock on the Monday, and there he found Didon standing in the hall. His heart sank within him as he saw her.

There was another pause of a minute, and then Sir Felix left the room muttering something as to the stupidity of having no cards; and so brought to an end his connection with his associates of the Beargarden. From that time forth he was never more seen by them, or, if seen, was never known.

When he wrote these letters at Liverpool the great rumour about Melmotte had not yet sprung up. He returned to London on the day of the festival, and first heard of the report at the Beargarden. There he found that the old set had for the moment broken itself up.

But Montague had discovered that this statement in the book was always prepared and written by a satellite of Melmotte's from Abchurch Lane who was never present at the meeting. The adverse director had spoken to the secretary, it will be remembered that they were both members of the Beargarden, and Miles had given a somewhat evasive reply. 'A cussed deal of trouble and all that, you know!
