Of what service would it be to her that Lady Julia Goldsheiner should be received everywhere, if she herself were to be left without a single Christian friend? Would a life passed exclusively among the Jews content even her lessened ambition? At ten o'clock she kissed her father's head and went to bed. Her father grunted less audibly than usual under the operation.
'As for that, my dear, said Miss Longestaffe, who, since the rise in Melmotte stock generally, had endeavoured to resume something of her old manners, 'I don't see what you mean at all. You meet Lady Julia Goldsheiner everywhere, and her father-in-law is Mr Brehgert's junior partner. 'Lady Julia is Lady Julia, my dear, and young Mr Goldsheiner has, in some sort of way, got himself in.
She counted up ever so many instances on her fingers of 'decent people' who had married Jews or Jewesses. Lord Frederic Framlinghame had married a girl of the Berrenhoffers; and Mr Hart had married a Miss Chute. She did not know much of Miss Chute, but was certain that she was a Christian. Lord Frederic's wife and Lady Julia Goldsheiner were seen everywhere.
Then she sat herself square at the table, and wrote to her mother, as follows, dating her letter for the following morning: Hill Street, 9th July, 187-. I am afraid you will be very much astonished by this letter, and perhaps disappointed. I have engaged myself to Mr Brehgert, a member of a very wealthy firm in the City, called Todd, Brehgert, and Goldsheiner.
'My dear sir, I am so sorry. You are a punctual man, I see. So am I. A man of business should be punctual. But they ain't always. Brehgert, from the house of Todd, Brehgert, and Goldsheiner, you know, has just been with me. We had to settle something about the Moldavian loan. He came a quarter late, and of course he went a quarter late. And how is a man to catch a quarter of an hour?
I wonder whether we ever shall be. 'Upon my word I hardly see my way as yet. 'You're not going to give it up! 'Oh no; not give it up; certainly not. But the bother is a fellow doesn't know what to do. 'You've heard of young Mr Goldsheiner, haven't you? suggested Marie. 'He's one of those city chaps. 'And Lady Julia Start? 'She's old Lady Catchboy's daughter. Yes; I've heard of them.
As to her husband, though she did not suppose that she could ever get him to church, nor perhaps would it be desirable, she thought that she might induce him to go nowhere, so that she might be able to pass him off as a Christian. She knew that such was the Christianity of young Goldsheiner, of which the Starts were now boasting.
