Nidderdale himself had never dissented, had entertained no fanciful theory opposed to this view, had never alarmed his father by any liaison tending towards matrimony with any undowered beauty; but had claimed his right to 'have his fling' before he devoted himself to the reintegration of the family property.
He never told her his mistake, or explained to her that he had not thought it possible that the high-placed son of the London great man should have fallen in love with his undowered daughter; but he embraced her, and told her, with all his enthusiasm, that he rejoiced in her joy, and would be happy in her happiness.
Had he hurt her pride? It was well her pride should be hurt! Her mind was at rest. But Alister must continue in pain and dread until he had spoken to her father.

"It is not your man-about-town who sacrifices his future in a love-match," was her reflection.
Taking the duration of his life into account, this son of a blacksmith, and apprentice to a bookbinder, had to decide between a fortune of 150,000L. on the one side, and his undowered science on the other. He chose the latter, and died a poor man. But his was the glory of holding aloft among the nations the scientific name of England for a period of forty years.
