Gregory did write of his own visits to the metropolis, past and future, and Ralph knew that the young parson would again singe his wings in the flames that were burning at Popham Villa; but nothing was said of the heir. Through March and April that trouble respecting Polly Neefit was continued, and Gregory in his letter of course did not speak of the Neefits.
This was said after Ralph had positively declared that he would not go actually with the Neefits and occupy the same apartments. "It would be altogether wrong, for Polly's sake," said Ralph, looking very wise and very moral. To this view Neefit assented, not being quite sure how far "the Captain" might be correct in his ideas of morality. "They've been and fixed young Newton for Polly," said Mr.
As regarded the Neefits, it would be simply necessary that he should pay the breeches-maker the money that he owed them, and go no more either to Conduit Street or to Hendon. And then what else should he do, or leave undone? In what other direction should he be active or inactive? He was well aware that hitherto he had utterly wasted his life.
He put himself up at an hotel there, eat his dinner, lighted a cigar, and went down upon the sands. It was growing dusk, and he thought that he should be alone, or, at least, uninterrupted in a crowd. The crowd was there, and nobody in the place would know him, except the Neefits. He had not been on the sands two minutes before he encountered Mr. Neefit and his daughter.
That had become so horrible that it was rarely used; but even the dining-room was very bad. What would she do there, poor woman? What was there left for her to do at all in this world, except to nag at her husband? Nevertheless all who knew anything about the Neefits said that they were very respectable people, and had done very well in the world.
