But, if I can see inside his bosom, such a little job as that he has now done will be looked back upon as one of the past pleasures of his life; not as a pain." Mr. Mildmay's Bill It will be necessary that we should go back in our story for a very short period in order that the reader may be told that Phineas Finn was duly re-elected at Loughton after his appointment at the Treasury Board.
Was he not himself false to his principle in sitting for such a borough as Loughton? He had spoken to Mr. Monk, and Mr. Monk had told him that Rome was not built in a day, and had told him also that good things were most valued and were more valuable when they came by instalments. But then Mr. Monk himself enjoyed the satisfaction of sitting for a popular Constituency.
It would trouble his conscience less to sit for Loughton and vote for an objectionable clause as a member of the Government, than it would have done to give such a vote as an independent member. In so resolving, he thought that he was simply acting in accordance with the acknowledged rules of parliamentary government.
"I see you have found the left thigh-bone," I remarked, observing that this did not appear in the list. "Yes," said the sergeant; "that turned up yesterday evening in a big pond called Baldwin's Pond in the Sand-pit plain, near Little Monk Wood." "Is that near here?" I asked. "In the forest up Loughton way," was the reply.
He has earned a pipe of tobacco; make up a bed for him. Despatch at once any one of the stable-boys to Loughton the Dolphin.

Now Lady Laura spoke to him and looked at him as though he had been most basely false most untrue to that noble friendship which had been lavished upon him by all her family.
It was certainly a great relief to him, that he should be thus secured from the domiciliary visits of Mr. Clarkson; a great relief to him to be assured that Mr. Clarkson would not find him out down at Loughton; but nevertheless, he had to suffer a pang of shame as he felt that Miss Fitzgibbon had become acquainted with his poverty and had found herself obliged to satisfy his pecuniary liabilities.
"Since he's so damned set on being uncarnal," snapped the squire, "let him go without Janice." "And have her running off with an indentured servant, as Anne Loughton did?" "She'll do nothing of the kind. If ye want a husband for the lass, let her take Phil." "A bankrupt." "Tush! There are acres enough to pay the old squire's debts three times over.

Of course Phineas was persuaded before he left Mr. Kennedy's room. Indeed, when he came to think of it, there appeared to him to be no valid reason why he should not sit for Loughton. The favour was of a kind that had prevailed from time out of mind in England, between the most respectable of the great land magnates, and young rising liberal politicians.
