"Madam," he said, "when a woman speaks in that way to the man whose name she bears, there is but one thing for him to do, and that is to withdraw." He bowed, and without further comment left the room. "I don't bear your name," Eden called after him, but he had gone.
He justly thought no character so disagreeable as that of a valetudinarian, and was determined not to be one himself. He had known what it was to live on fourpence halfpenny a day and scorned the life of sofa cushions and beef-tea into which well-attended old gentlemen so easily slip. Once, when Mrs. But in that she never succeeded.
They began to think me some poor valetudinarian; but though I was in torments, a feeling of vanity made me endeavour to behave sensibly.
