'I am quite unable to manage the business alone, and if you won't attend to it, it must smash. But please to remember that I took a share on certain conditions. For a week he had stayed at home. Morphew did not reply, but the fact that no appeals arrived from the trusty shopman seemed to prove that this last step had been effectual.
I resisted, not as before, but yet desperately, trying with better knowledge to keep down the growing passion. I hurried to my room and swallowed a dose of a sedative which had been given me to procure sleep on my first return from India. I saw Morphew in the hall, and called him to talk to him, and cheat myself, if possible, by that means.
If I come over in the morning, will you take me to the place, and let me look over it with you, and see both Denbow and the shopman? 'Of course I will! said Morphew delightedly. 'It's all aboveboard. There's a devilish good business to be made; it depends only on the man. Why, Denbow has made as much as two hundred in a year out of printing for amateurs alone.
No, I can't be sure. But I'll try. 'What holds you? 'Well, I like to be near, you know, to her. And then all sorts of difficulties Morphew had his lodgings at present in a street near Chelsea Hospital, a poor-looking place, much inferior to those in which Rolfe had formerly seen him.
To prevent this, I ordered four men whom I thought I could trust to take the charge of our two boats; but two of these went away with the best boat, and my first lieutenant and Morphew plotted to have gone away with the other, but were hindered by blowing weather, and so weak was my authority that I was forced to dissemble.
In the street again, Morphew mentioned that he had taken up photography. 'It gives me something to do, and it takes me out into the open air. This beastly town is the ruin of me, in every way. Come to my rooms for an hour, will you? I'll show you some attempts; I've only just tried my hand at developing. And it's a long time since we had a talk. They made for a Chelsea omnibus and mounted.
'Ah, well, of course there's a certain knack and then, experience Morphew emptied his glass, and refilled it. Nearly all the tables in the room were now occupied, and the general hum of talk gave security to intimate dialogue. Flushed and bright-eyed, the young man presently leaned forward. 'If I could count upon five hundred, she would take the step. 'Indeed? 'Yes, that's settled.
Harvey was dining in town. He came back with vexatious news about Cecil Morphew, who neglected business, looked ill, and altogether seemed in a bad way. As he talked, he began to notice that Alma regarded him with brighter and happier eyes than for many a day. 'Why does it amuse you? he asked, stopping in his narrative. 'It doesn't; I'm as sorry as you are. But I have a surprise for you.
Before going to Pinner, he wished to see Cecil Morphew, for he had an idea to communicate a suggestion for the extending of business by opening correspondence with out of the way towns, such as Greystone. On reaching the shop in Westminster Bridge Road, he found that Morphew also had a communication to make, and of a more exciting nature.
It was some months since he had seen Cecil Morphew, who looked in indifferent health, and in his dress came near to shabbiness. They passed out together, Morphew carrying an enwrapped volume, which he gave Rolfe to understand was a birthday present for her. The elder man resisted his inclination to joke, and asked how things were going on.
