All these influences led the jury irrepressibly, over the obstacles of obstinacy, on the way to submission. After a needless delay, they returned a verdict of "death by misadventure." The secret of Mrs. Farnaby's suicide remained inviolate; the reputation of her vile husband stood as high as ever; and the future life of Amelius was, from that fatal moment, turned irrevocably into a new course.
Jervy suddenly looked up. His soft insinuating manner had vanished; he spoke roughly and impatiently. "I want to know something. Has Farnaby's wife got money of her own?" Phoebe's mind was still disturbed by the change in her lover. "You speak as if you were angry with me," she said. Jervy recovered his insinuating tones, with some difficulty. "My dear girl, I love you!
The inevitable handkerchief appeared, adding emphasis to the protest and the becoming tears showed themselves modestly in Regina's magnificent eyes. Amelius started out of his chair, and walked away to the window. That last reference to Mr. Farnaby's pecuniary cares was more than he had patience to endure.
When a man asks you to dine with him at seven o'clock, in other countries, he means what he says. In England, he means half-past seven, and sometimes a quarter to eight. At seven o'clock I was the only person in Mr. Farnaby's drawing-room. At ten minutes past seven, Mr. Farnaby made his appearance.
Farnaby's answer to his letter. The man of the oily whiskers wrote courteously and guardedly.

After one look out of the window, Regina decided on passing the rest of the day luxuriously, in the company of a novel, by her own fireside.
I sincerely desire to make the acquaintance of Miss Regina's aunt, and any other members of the family circle." Phoebe left the room, smiling. Such an amusing visitor as this was a rare person in Mr. Farnaby's house. Rufus looked after her, with unconcealed approval. The maid appeared to be more to his taste than the mistress. "Well, that's a pretty creature, I do declare," he said to Regina.
He was especially perplexed and angry, when he reflected on the unassailably strong influence which her uncle appeared to have over her. All Regina's sympathy was with Mr. Farnaby and his troubles. Amelius might have understood her a little better, if she had told him what had passed between her uncle and herself on the night of Mr. Farnaby's return, in a state of indignation, from the lecture.
"If there's salvation for Amelius," he said, "I reckon I shall find it here." The medium of correspondence between Amelius and Regina's maid was an old woman who kept a shop for the sale of newspapers and periodicals, in a by-street not far from Mr. Farnaby's house.
