After an abbreviated Morning Service he lit a cheroot, climbed into his dog-cart, and drove off towards Meriton at a brisk pace, being due to perform his errand there and report himself at Meriton by three in the afternoon. For luncheon he carried a box of sandwiches and a flask of whisky and water.
Meriton now joined, by assurances of his opinion, that the ship would hold together till the morning, when all would be safe. Captain Pierce observing one of the young gentlemen loud in his exclamations of terror, and frequently cry that the ship was parting, cheerfully bid him be quiet, remarking, that though the ship should go to pieces, he would not, but would be safe enough.
Man's unconquerable soul, and all the rest of it ... well, I was a coward every inch of me, body and soul." He paused and glanced up and down the road. There was no one in sight. "It happened when I was a young chap just out of college. I was travelling round the world with another youngster of my own age and an older man Charles Meriton who has since made a name for himself.
The description of her loss, familiar to me from my early boyhood, seems to be read aloud as she rushes to her destiny. 'About two in the morning of Friday the sixth of January, the ship still driving, and approaching very fast to the shore, Mr. Henry Meriton, the second mate, went again into the cuddy, where the captain then was.
Is Meriton really burnt to the ground, then? But even that news wouldn't gravely afflict me." "It isn't and it would. At any rate, it might now, I hope," said Miss Sally enigmatically.

He looked up and met her eyes.

God fit us for the worst! Up, and to church, myself and wife, where the old dunce Meriton, brother to the known Meriton; of St. Martin's, Westminster, did make a very good sermon, beyond my expectation. Home to dinner, and we carried in Pegg Pen, and there also come to us little Michell and his wife, and dined very pleasantly.
At Sidmouth, on the second day of the honeymoon, a redirected telegram reached him, and he learnt that by Anthony's death Meriton was his, and the title with it.
Upon the shores of Bute, opposite the rugged, heathery hills of Cowal, John Campbell had built himself a splendid habitation. People going up and Down the Kyles were in the habit of pointing out Meriton Mansion, and of asserting that the owner had risen from extreme poverty to his enviable position. There was not a word of truth in this story.
A soldier who preceded him had his feet on a small projecting rock or stone on which also Meriton had fastened his hands to aid his progress.
