Harry Meltham likes such manners; and so do papa's friends. 'Well, you MAY captivate old men, and younger sons; but nobody else, I am sure, will ever take a fancy to you. 'I don't care: I'm not always grabbing after money, like you and mamma. If my husband is able to keep a few good horses and dogs, I shall be quite satisfied; and all the rest may go to the devil!
I spoke strongly; for I had a high esteem and admiration for Meltham; and my gentleman had indefinitely conveyed to me some suspicion that he wanted to sneer at him. He recalled me to my guard by presenting that trim pathway up his head, with its internal 'Not on the grass, if you please the gravel. 'You knew him, Mr. Slinkton. 'Only by reputation.
'No, I really detest them all; but Harry Meltham is the handsomest and most amusing, and Mr. Hatfield the cleverest, Sir Thomas the wickedest, and Mr. Green the most stupid. But the one I'm to have, I suppose, if I'm doomed to have any of them, is Sir Thomas Ashby. 'Surely not, if he's so wicked, and if you dislike him?
We left the beach, and our ways diverged. We exchanged goodnight, and had parted indeed, when he said, returning, 'Mr. Sampson, MAY I ask? Poor Meltham, whom we spoke of, dead yet? 'Not when I last heard of him; but too broken a man to live long, and hopelessly lost to his old calling. 'Dear, dear, dear! said he, with great feeling. 'Sad, sad, sad! The world is a grave! And so went his way.
'And are you equally proud of having told him that his having the wealth of Sir Hugh Meltham would make no difference to you, when that was not the case; and of having promised to tell no one of his misadventure, apparently without the slightest intention of keeping your promise? 'Of course! what else could I do? You would not have had me but I see, Miss Grey, you're not in a good temper.
Nota bene. Mr. Hatfield never spoke to me, neither did Sir Hugh or Lady Meltham, nor Mr. Harry or Miss Meltham, nor Mr. Green or his sisters, nor any other lady or gentleman who frequented that church: nor, in fact, any one that visited at Horton Lodge.
But she soon betook herself to the stables, and left me to the quiet enjoyment of my solitary meal. Miss Murray now always went twice to church, for she so loved admiration that she could not bear to lose a single opportunity of obtaining it; and she was so sure of it wherever she showed herself, that, whether Harry Meltham and Mr.
But when YOU ask me what reason I have heard assigned for Mr. Meltham's passing away from among men, it is another thing. I am not gratifying idle gossip then. I was told, Mr. Sampson, that Mr. Meltham had relinquished all his avocations and all his prospects, because he was, in fact, broken- hearted.
When Meltham had spoken these last words, the miscreant suddenly turned away his face, and seemed to strike his mouth with his open hand.
He laughed at my ready association of loss with money, and replied, 'No, in talent and vigour. Not at once following out his allusion, I considered for a moment. 'HAS it sustained a loss of that kind? said I. 'I was not aware of it. 'Understand me, Mr. Sampson. I don't imagine that you have retired. It is not so bad as that. But Mr. Meltham 'O, to be sure! said I. 'Yes! Mr.
