It happened that there were at this time certain matters of business to be settled between the Duke of Omnium and his nephew Mr. Palliser, respecting which the latter called upon his uncle on the morning after the Duke had committed himself by his offer. Mr. Palliser had come by appointment made with Mr. Fothergill, the Duke's man of business, and had expected to meet Mr. Fothergill. Mr.
He had fallen into the possession of a fine property on the attainment of his manhood; he had been endowed with more than average gifts of intellect; never-failing health had been given to him, and a vision fairly clear in discerning good from evil; and now to what a pass had he brought himself! And that man Fothergill had put all this before him in so terribly clear a light!
Fothergill, who was her purser, had in former years resided in Congo Francais as a merchant, and to Congo Francais I was bound with an empty hold as regards local knowledge of the district. Mr. Fothergill evidently had much knowledge and experience of the Fernan Vaz district and its natives.

Archie raised himself from the ground and stumbled to his feet: "Come? where?" "To Fordborough." The boy started and stepped back.
"The truth is, Plantagenet, that it is possible that I may marry, and if so this arrangement would not suit me." "Are you going to be married?" asked the astonished nephew.
