When he had before made his suit to her, a suit which was then honourable, however disadvantageous it might have seemed to be to her he had made in his mind certain calculations as to the good things which would result to him if he were successful He would keep hounds, and have three or four horses every day for his own riding, and he would have no more interviews with Magruin, waiting in that rogue's dingy back parlour for many a weary wretched half-hour, till the rogue should be pleased to show himself.
At this moment he had barely money about him to take him down to his aunt's house at Monkshade, and as he had promised to be there before Christmas Day, he was bound to start on the next morning, before help from Mr Magruin was possible. Nevertheless, out of his very narrow funds he had given half a crown to comfort the poor creature who had spoken to him in the street. Containing a Love Letter
If time and tide won't wait, neither will love. Come, Mr Magruin, out with your cheque-book, and don't let's have any nonsense." "But is the lady sure, Mr Vavasor?" asked Mr Magruin, anxiously. "Ladies never are sure," said Vavasor; "hardly more sure than bills made over to money-lenders. I'm not going to wait here all day. Are you going to give him the money?" "Christmas-day, Mr Vavasor!
Don't let that rogue off for less than a hundred and twenty. Yours, B. F." Vavasor, therefore, having nothing better to do, spent his Christmas morning in calling on Mr Magruin. "Oh, Mr Vavasor," said Magruin; "really this is no morning for business!" "Time and tide wait for no man, Mr Magruin, and my friend wants his money to-morrow." "Oh, Mr Vavasor, to-morrow!" "Yes, to-morrow.
There's no getting money in the city to-day." But Vavasor before he left did get the money from Mr Magruin, £122 10s. for which an acceptance at two months for £500 was given in exchange, and carried it off in triumph. "Do tell him to be punctual," said Mr Magruin, when Vavasor took his leave. "I do so like young men to be punctual.
When the tidings reached Monkshade that Lady Glencora was not to be expected, Burgo Fitzgerald was already there, armed with such pecuniary assistance as George Vavasor had been able to wrench out of the hands of Mr Magruin.
Probably she has not. And if she has, probably you would fail in carrying out your plan." "I must get a little money first," said Burgo. "And that's an operation which no doubt you find more difficult every day, as you grow older." "It seems to be much the same sort of thing. I went to Magruin this morning." "He's the fellow that lives out near Gray's Inn Lane?"
