By-the by, Montague, if you'd like to come to the dinner, I've got a ticket I can let you have. You know how they're run after. Montague had heard of the dinner, but had perhaps heard as little of it as any man frequenting a club at the west end of London. He did not in the least want to be at the dinner, and certainly did not wish to receive any extraordinary civility from Mr Melmotte's hands.
What Felix thought of now was simply his money, and the best means of getting it out of Melmotte's hands. 'You're a spendthrift, said Melmotte, apparently relenting, 'and I'm afraid a gambler. I suppose I must give you £200 more on account. Sir Felix could not resist the touch of ready money, and consented to take the sum offered.
Nidderdale himself had assisted them in their departure; and the German, with the poor woman's maid, with the jewels also, which had been packed according to Melmotte's last orders to his wife, followed the carriage which took the mother and the daughter.
'What do I want? Melmotte's description of the peculiar susceptibility of great mercantile speculations had not been given without some effect on Montague, but this direct appeal to himself almost drove that effect out of his mind. 'I only want justice. 'But you should know what justice is before you demand it at the expense of other people. Look here, Mr Montague.
Lady Carbury herself was anxious that that affair should not be considered as having given cause for any personal quarrel between herself and Mr Melmotte, and in her difficulty had consulted Mr Broune. Mr Broune was the staff on which she leant at present in all her difficulties. Mr Broune was going to the dinner. All this of course took place while Melmotte's name was as yet unsullied as snow.
That's a sort of thing that a man should be left to do for himself. I suppose Vossner is a swindler; but, by Jove, I know a worse than Vossner. With that he turned on his heels and went into the smoking-room. And, after he was gone, there was silence at the table, for it was known that Lord Nidderdale was to marry Melmotte's daughter.
How could he be justified in whispering suspicions to the man who was known to be at any rate one of the competitors for Marie Melmotte's hand? 'You can speak out to me, you know, said Nidderdale, nodding his head. 'I've got nothing to speak. People say that he is about the richest man alive. 'He lives as though he were. 'I don't see why it shouldn't be all true.
Fancy taking a girl to New York! It was plucky. 'It was all her doing, said Miles, who was of course intimate with Mr Melmotte's whole establishment, and had had means therefore of hearing the true story. 'What a fiasco! said the young lord.
On the following day the two men, who were still partners, went together to London, and Fisker immediately became immersed in the arrangement of Melmotte's affairs.
The donation was accompanied by a letter from Mr Melmotte's secretary, which leaves but little doubt that the new member for Westminster will be a member, and no inconsiderable member, of the Catholic party in the House, during the next session. 'That's another dodge, is it? said Carbury. 'What do you mean by a dodge, Mr Carbury?
