His patroness met his eyes it was clear she was in straits. Then she thrust out her money at him. "Mr. Moreen desired me to give you this on account." "I'm much obliged to Mr. Moreen, but we have no account." "You won't take it?" "That leaves me more free," said Pemberton. "To poison my darling's mind?" groaned Mrs. Moreen. "Oh your darling's mind !" the young man laughed.
It contained a bookcase: I soon possessed myself of a volume, taking care that it should be one stored with pictures. I mounted into the window- seat: gathering up my feet, I sat cross-legged, like a Turk; and, having drawn the red moreen curtain nearly close, I was shrined in double retirement.
Moreen threw out more hints about the changes that were to be looked for, but she was such a mixture of smiles and shudders she confessed she was very nervous that he couldn't tell if she were in high feather or only in hysterics. If the family was really at last going to pieces why shouldn't she recognise the necessity of pitching Morgan into some sort of lifeboat?
Evans, who came to the inn to find Lady Maulevrier kneeling beside her husband's bed, while Steadman stood with a troubled countenance at a respectful distance. The room was dimly lighted by a pair of candles burning on a table near the window, and at some distance from the old four-post bedstead, shaded by dark moreen curtains.
This presumption was fostered by the fact that they were established in luxurious quarters in the capital of pleasure; that was exactly where they naturally would be established in view of going to pieces.

"Darling child, one does what one can; there are so many things to consider," urged Mrs. Moreen. "It's his place his only place. You see you think it is now."
