'Bring the tea and the eggs at once, said Neverbend, very briskly. 'Won't you wait for Mr. Tudor? asked the waiter, with an air of surprise. Now the landlord, waiter, boots, and chambermaid, the chambermaid especially, had all, in Mr. Neverbend's estimation, paid Tudor by far too much consideration; and he was determined to show that he himself was first fiddle.
He could not at all understand how it was, but even the servants at the hotel seemed to pay more deference to Tudor than to him; and before the evening was over he absolutely found himself drinking port wine negus, because his colleague had ordered it for him. 'And now, said Neverbend, who was tired with his long journey, 'I think I'll go to bed.
"It's Oval's head that is turned," continued his lordship; "I never saw a man so bowled over in my life. He's awfully in love with her." "What will his friends say at home?" asked Mrs Neverbend. "We understand that Miss Crasweller is to have a large fortune; eight or ten thousand a-year at the least.
Neverbend, and tell him I'll thank him to wait ten minutes. Boots, descending with the message, found Mr. Neverbend ready coated and gloved, standing at the hotel door. The fly was there, and the lame ostler holding the horse; but the provoking driver had gone back for his coat. 'Please, sir, Mr. Tudor says as how you're not to go just at present, but to wait ten minutes till he be ready.
The fact was, everybody asked had come, and as she could not, of course, have counted on that, why, she had got, you see, twice as many people as she had expected.

Her heart consequently beat high as she made her way upstairs, linked arm-in-arm with Ugolina Neverbend. 'Shall you dance much? said Ugolina. 'Oh, I hope so, said Katie. 'I shall not.
Alaric of course promised that he would do his best, expressed the deepest gratitude to his patron, and went off to put himself into communication with Mr. Neverbend at the Woods and Forests, having received an assurance that the examination in his own office should not take place till after his return from Tavistock.
"And on which side are you, Eva?" I inquired with a smile. For in truth I did believe at that moment that she was engaged to the baronet. "How dare you ask, Mr Neverbend?" she demanded, with indignation. "Am not I a Britannulist as well as you?" And as she walked away I could see that there was a tear in her eye.

With Jack I was supposed to have quarrelled altogether, and very grievous it was to me not to be able to speak to the lad of a morning or an evening. But he did not seem to be much the worse for it.
When they came to speak of the vices and the virtues of President Neverbend, to tell of his weakness and his strength, it should never be said of him that he had been deterred by fear of the people from carrying out the great measure which he had projected solely for their benefit. Comforted by this resolve, I went into Mrs Neverbend's parlour, where I found her son Jack sitting with her.
