You can go as they go, and chatter to the other monkey, Jacquelina and make Old Nace mad with jealousy, so that he shall go and hang himself, and leave you the widow and her fortune! Come! is there mischief enough to amuse you? But I know you won't do it! I know it! I know it! I know it! just because I wish you to!" "What, sir? drive Dr. Grimshaw to hang himself?" "No, sir!
He has set his heart upon making Nace Grimshaw his successor at Luckenough, that if you disappoint him in this darling purpose, there will be no limit to his rage and his revenge. And he will not only send us from his roof, but he will seek to justify himself and further ruin us by blackening our names.
He swore roundly that he would not stir to save the necks of all the scoundrels in the world, much less that of Thurston, who, if he did not kill Marian, deserved richly to be hanged for giving poor Nace so much trouble. Mrs. Waugh coaxed and urged in vain.
"And very properly, too. What right had you to make such a 'demand?" said Mrs. Waugh, indignantly. "I was not addressing my remarks to you, madam," retorted the professor. "That will not keep me from making a running commentary upon them, however," responded the lady. "Hold your tongue, Henrietta. Go on, Nace.
