Only it won't be a Giblet as long as dear old Lord Gossling can keep the gout out of his stomach. They say that in anger at his son's marriage he has forsworn champagne and confines himself to two bottles of claret a-day. But Giblet, who is the happiest young man of my acquaintance, says that his wife is worth it all. "And so our friend the Captain is a millionaire! What will he do?
Green are here also, and remain till Christmas when the Giblets are coming. It was the prettiest wedding in the world, and they have been half over Europe since. I am told he's the happiest man in the world, and the very best husband. Old Gossling didn't like it at all, but every stick is entailed, and they say he's likely to have gout in his stomach, so that everything will go pleasantly.
I should be very glad to see a Speculation or two upon lottery Subjects, in which you would oblige all People concerned, and in particular 'Your most humble Servant, 'George Gossling. 'P.S. Dear SPEC, if I get the 12 000 Pound, I'll make thee a handsome Present.
I have always thought that in his heart of hearts he regrets the legacy. Whether to spite his son, or at the urgent entreaty of his wife and doctors, Lord Gossling has of late been so careful, that the gout has not had a chance of getting into his stomach. Lord Giblet professes himself to be perfectly satisfied with things as they are. He has already four children.
Of course her position is not so brilliant as yours, but still it is very good. Poor dear Lord Gossling" whom, by the bye, Mrs. Patmore Green had never seen "is failing very much; he is a martyr to the gout, and then he is so imprudent." Lady Mary smiled and was civil, but did not make any promise of peculiarly intimate friendship.
Montacute Jones, news arrived which made it absolutely necessary that he should go to Castle Gossling at once. "We shall be so sorry to miss you," said Mrs. Montacute Jones, whom he tried to avoid in making his general adieux, but who was a great deal too clever not to catch him. "My father wants to see me about the property, you know." "Of course. There must be a great deal to do between you."
