"Just so; but as I was saying, you can understand that there may be family difficulties. I only say that because I ought perhaps to have given you an answer sooner. I won't go down with you this evening." "You won't?" "Not to-night; but I'll be with you on Saturday evening, if that will suit you." "Come and have a bit of dinner again on Sunday," said Neefit.
The man turned a look of scorn on Mr. Neefit, and did pick up the bits. He intended to obey his master as far as might be possible, but was very unwilling to wait upon the breeches-maker. He felt that the order which had been given to him was very cruel.
Neefit's money had been repaid, but Neefit would not understand that the young heir's obligations to him had by any means been acquitted by that very ordinary process. He had risked his money when payment was very doubtful, and now he intended to have something beyond cash in return for all that he had done.
"Halloa, Newton," said the young lord, "have you seen old Neefit lately?" There were eight or ten men in the room, and suddenly there was silence among the cues. Ralph would have given his best horse to be able to laugh it off, but he found that he could not laugh. He became very hot, and knew that he was red in the face. "What about old Neefit?" he said.
Be kind to me now." "The young 'uns is always to have their own way," said Neefit. "Hasn't my way been your way, father?" "Not when you wouldn't take the Captain when he come to Margate." "I didn't love him, father. Dear father, say the word. We haven't been happy lately; have we, father?" "I ain't been very 'appy," said Neefit, bursting out into sobs.
Moggs junior was standing up when he made this speech, and, when he had completed it, he looked round, first upon her father and then upon his rival. "She's never given you no encouragement," said Neefit. "How dare you speak in that way about my Polly?" "I do dare," said Ontario. "There!" "Will you tell Mr. Newton that she ever gave you any encouragement?"
He had not passed into the little back room, in which he knew that the servant would be looking for soda-water, before he heard a sound as of smashed crockery, and he was convinced that Mr. Neefit was preparing himself for forcible eviction by breaking his ornaments. Let the ornaments go, and the mirror, and the clock on the chimney-piece, and the windows.
Neefit, very slowly, looking into the elderly gentleman's face, "and then run through the mangle, the buttons will break." The elderly gentleman never dared even to enter the shop again. Mr.
Neefit," said the young Squire, turning angrily to the man. "Mr. Neefit, you are perfectly welcome to as much brandy as you can drink, and my man will wait upon you while I'm away. Good morning." Whereupon Newton took up his hat and left the room.
"You have hardly realised," said he, "what it would be to have such a father-in-law and such a mother-in-law; or probably such a wife." "Yes, I have. I have realised all that." "Of course, if you have made up your mind " "But I have not made up my mind, Sir Thomas. I must make it up before eleven o'clock to-morrow morning, because I must then be with Neefit, by appointment.
