Mary Fellingham and Annette were anxious to finish breakfast and mount the down to gaze on the sea, and receiving a caution from Van Diemen not to go too near the cliff, they were inclined to think he was needlessly timorous on their account. Before they were half way through the meal, word was brought in of great breaches in the shingle, and water covering the common.
And Fellingham was just a trifle warmed. Now mark what events will do to light the fires. Van Diemen and Tinman, old chums re-united, and both successful in life, had nevertheless, as Mrs. Crickledon said, their differences. They commenced with an opposition to Tinman's views regarding the expenditure of town moneys.
Van Diemen informed him that it would be for a night only, as young Fellingham was coming down to keep him company. "At six o'clock this evening, then," said Tinman. "We're not fashionable in Winter." "Hang me, if I know when ever we were!" Van Diemen rejoined. "Come, though, you'd like to be. You've got your ambition, Philip, like other men." "Respectable and respected that 's my ambition, Mr.
Herbert speedily brought Mary Fellingham to Elba, and left her there. The situation was apparently unaltered. Van Diemen looked worn, like a man who has been feeding mainly on his reflections, which was manifest in his few melancholy bits of speech. He said to Herbert: "How you feel a thing when you are found out!" and, "It doesn't do for a man with a heart to do wrong!"
"I am much obliged to you; I do not dine out at present," said the London lady. "Dear me! are you ill?" "No." "Nothing in the family, I hope?" "My family?" "I am sure, I beg pardon," said Mrs. Cavely, bridling with a spite pardonable by the severest moralist. "Can I speak to you alone?" she addressed Annette. Miss Fellingham rose. Mrs. Cavely confronted her. "I can't allow it; I can't think of it.

Brother and sister examined together the Court Guide they had purchased on the occasion at once of their largest outlay and most thrilling gratification; in it they certainly found the name of General Fellingham. "But he can't be related to a newspaper-writer," said Mrs. Cavely. To which her brother rejoined, "Unless the young man turned scamp. I hate unproductive professions."
"It won't hurt the carpet," said Tinman. "Won't it?" Fellingham gazed at the carpet, as if expecting a flame to arise. He then related the tale of the magnanimous Alexander drinking off the potion, in scorn of the slanderer, to show faith in his friend. "Alexander Who was that?" said Tinman, foiled in his historical recollections by the absence of the surname.
"I have 'nt had my morning's walk I can't go out to be hooted," he said, calling to his daughter for tea, and strong tea; and explaining to Herbert that he knew it to be bad for the nerves, but it was an antidote to bad champagne. Mr. Herbert Fellingham had previously received an invitation on behalf of a sister of his to Crikswich.
The young Londoner presumed to touch upon Tinman's private affairs by pleading on behalf of the Crikledons, who were, he said, much dejected by the notice they had received to quit house and shop. "Another time," bawled Tinman. "I can't hear you in this wind." "Come in," said Fellingham.
