Could she but once draw these two giants into collision in Nevil's presence, she was sure it would save him. The method of doing it she did not stop to consider: she enjoyed her triumph in the idea. Meantime she had passed from Dr. Shrapnel to Miss Denham, and carried on a conversation becomingly.
He passed with a shrug Nevil's puling outcry for the enemy as well as our own poor fellows: 'At his steppes again! And he had to be forgiving when reports came of his nephew's turn for overdoing his duty: 'show-fighting, as he termed it. 'Braggadocioing in deeds is only next bad to mouthing it, he wrote very rationally. 'Stick to your line. Don't go out of it till you are ordered out.
Such fine distinctions, however, were unknown to Jane. If you were in a temper, you were in a temper. That was flat. And she rather wanted to rouse Nevil's. Heated opposition would stiffen her own.... "India of all countries in the world!" she culminated a desperate note invading her wrath.
Porters are so careless." He did not look round, but continued to examine the details of the offending picture. Christopher leant over his chair and put his hands on Nevil's shoulders.

Up went Nevil's enthusiasm like a bottle rid of the cork.
It was most possible that they who parted now would find, this side eternity, no second inn of meeting. From his perch beside the door, the boy in blue and silver watched his master's guests step into the sunlight and go away. A throng had gathered in front of the tavern, for the most part of those within were men of note, and Sir John Nevil's adventure to the Indies had long been general talk.
Lord Romfrey pronounced these words with a sober emphasis that struck the humour of it sharply into Rosamund's heart, through some contrast it presented between Nevil's aim at the world and hit of a man: the immense deal thought of it by the earl, and the very little that Nevil would think of it the great domestic achievement to be boasted of by an enthusiastic devotee of politics!
