Felix believed that this parting was more felt than that with all the other eleven, and while Fulbert subsided into his corner, the elder brother felt much oppressed by the sense that it was his duty to give some good advice, together with great perplexity what it should be, how it should be expressed, and whether it would be endured.
'Can Lance and Bernard settle that? I want you a moment, Fulbert. Not to confront the Rectory again, he added, smiling. 'It was a horrid bore for you, but there was no helping it. 'I suppose not, said Fulbert, gloomily, as if he did not forgive the unpleasant moments. 'It was not about that I wanted to speak to you, though, said Mr. Audley.

And then there's no one to take me in hand for it.

You are better without me. 'I'll stay if you do want it, said Lance, very reluctantly. 'I don't like your not having one bit of Christmas.
