If only he could have contented himself with performing the one duty required of him and then gracefully effacing himself, his success would have been assured. But that was not Quin's nature.

'We'll sleep at Quin's quarters, replied Ulick: 'WE'RE GOING TO STOP A WEEK THERE. 'Thank you, says Quin, very faint; 'it's very kind of you. 'You'll be lonely, you know, without us. 'Oh yes, very lonely! says Quin. 'As you please, whined out the Captain; and the horses were quickly brought round, and the three gentlemen rode away.
After all the work he had done at the factory, for him to be dismissed just because he wouldn't do a thing that he considered dishonorable! She hated Mr. Bangs she always had hated him; and the more she dwelt upon the fact, the more ardently she approved Quin's course.
"Faith, both are bad enough, but Mr. Rich seems bound to him." "Why doesn't he try Tom Walker? When Tom isn't drunk, he sings like an angel." "I know I know. Well, we'll see." But nothing was done, and at the second rehearsal Quin's Captain Macheath was more droningly dismal than ever.
