Ralph, alarmed, betook himself at once to the Ararat, and his first glimpse of Moffatt's round common face and fastidiously dressed person gave him an immediate sense of reassurance. He felt that under the circle of baldness on top of that carefully brushed head lay the solution of every monetary problem that could beset the soul of man.
"I presume my daughter has her reasons," he said, moving toward the door in Moffatt's wake. "I guess she has same as I have for wanting you to step round with me to old Driscoll's. If Undine's reasons are as good as mine " "Stop right here, Elmer Moffatt!" the older man broke out with lifted hand.
'Well, how goes it? said one. 'I have been the rounds. The blunt's going like the ward-pump. I saw a man come out of Moffatt's house, muffled up with a mask on. I dodged him. It was Biggs. 'You don't mean that, do you? D e, I'll answer for Moffatt. 'I never thought he was a true man. 'Told Robins? 'I could not see him; but I met young Gunning and told him. 'Young Gunning!

Spragg had long since measured the extent of profitable resistance, and knew just when it became vain to hold out against his daughter or advise others to do so. Ralph, for his own part, had no inclination to resist. As he left Moffatt's office his inmost feeling was one of relief. He had reached the point of recognizing that it was best for both that his wife should go.
Now and then she caught herself thinking that his two predecessors who were gradually becoming merged in her memory would have said this or that differently, behaved otherwise in such and such a case. And the comparison was almost always to Moffatt's disadvantage. This evening, however, she thought of him indulgently.
The mysterious pronoun somehow increased Paul's sense of isolation, and he went on to the drawing-rooms, steering his way prudently between the gold arm-chairs and shining tables, and wondering whether the wigged and corseleted heroes on the walls represented Mr. Moffatt's ancestors, and why, if they did, he looked so little like them.
