The scene of distress to which Lord Colambre was witness in this family made a still greater impression upon him than had been made by the warning or the threats of Mordicai. The similarity between the circumstances of his friend's family and of his own struck him forcibly. All this evil had arisen from Lady Berryl's passion for living in London and at watering places.
Berryl must just run over his name again in your presence, my lord, with a dry pen, said Mordicai, putting the pen into Mr. Berryl's hand. 'No, sir, said Lord Colambre, 'my friend shall never sign it. 'As you please, my lord the bond or the body, before I quit this house, said Mordicai. 'Neither, sir, shall you have; and you quit this house directly. 'How! how! my lord, how's this?
Berryl's curricle, now standing in the yard, began a statement of his friend's grievances, and an appeal to common justice and conscience, which he, unknowing the nature of the man with whom he had to deal, imagined must be irresistible. Mr. Mordicai stood without moving a muscle of his dark wooden face.
He argued wisely, more wisely than Grace had reasoned; for, notwithstanding this note, she would have left Buxton before his arrival, but for Lady Berryl's strength of mind, and positive determination not to set out with her till Lord Colambre should arrive to explain.
Berryl's sisters, in an agony of grief, rushed into the room. 'It's all useless, cried Mordicai, turning his back upon the ladies; 'these tricks upon creditors won't do with me; I'm used to these scenes; I'm not made of such stuff as you think. Leave a gentleman in peace in his last moments.
