"Shall I ask him that he may answer for himself?" inquired Henry Grantham, whose attention had been aroused by the ironical remarks of his companions. "By no means," replied Middlemore, "we have ANSER enough in his mere look." "Ha! ha! ha!" roared Molineux and St. Clair in concert.
Henry Grantham felt that he was rebuked but although he could not avoid something like an apologetical explanation of his remark, he was not the more favorably disposed towards her who had forced it from him. In this feeling he was confirmed by the annoyance he felt at having been visited by the anger of the brother to whom he was so attached.
Something like a film came over Garvin's eyes. "He ruined you, too, twenty years back Eldon Parr did for you, too. Oh, I know his record, I've followed his trail he got all the Grantham stock that would have made you a millionnaire!" "Ah," replied Mr. Bentley, smiling to humour him, "that's something I have no wish to be, sir, a millionaire." He met the frightened gaze of the wife.

"Is there another of your name in the British squadron?" continued Colonel Forrester, fixing his eye full upon his prisoner.
"In fact," he said, laughing, "there is no great credit due to me, Fleetwood; for I would much rather fight a ship twice the size of my own with the deck under my feet, than have to scramble up such a place as you describe, on a pitch-dark night, to thrash a few scoundrels of pirates." "If I don't mistake, you tried the first, and with no little success," observed Grantham.
So far the event justified her expectation. The austerity which Major Grantham carried with him into public life, was, if not wholly laid aside, at least considerably softened, in the presence of his wife, and when, later, the births of two sons crowned their union, there was nothing left her to desire, which it was in the power of circumstances to bestow.
