Murgatroyd, the Radical dentist, he found two or three friends who were very anxious not to think evil of their victorious leader, but felt wholly at a loss for satisfactory explanations. Mr. Vawdrey, the coal-merchant, talked with gruff discontent. "I don't believe there's been anything wrong; I couldn't think it neither of him nor her.
"Let us have kettledrum together for the last time, till you come back to us." "For the last time, mamma!" echoed Violet sadly. She could not imagine any possible phase of circumstances that would favour her return. Could she come back to see Roderick Vawdrey happy with his wife? Assuredly not. Could she school herself to endure life under the roof that sheltered Conrad Winstanley?
"I should have been a miserable man by this time if she had accepted me," he thought. "She did not care a straw about the People of Ireland." He was deeply, hopelessly, irrecoverably in love; and the lady he loved was to be married to another man in less than a week. The situation was too awful. What could such a woman as Mabel Ashbourne see in such a man as Roderick Vawdrey.
I should never have dreamt that such a thing was possible. What is the man's name? what is his position? 'Tarrant is his name, and he's related somehow to a Mr. Vawdrey, well known in the City, who has a big house over at Champion Hill.

That final clash of the bells brought the Captain and his partner to anchor at the end of the gallery, which opened through an archway into a spacious palm-house with a lofty dome. In the middle of this archway, looking at the dancers, stood a figure at sight of which Violet Tempest's heart gave a great leap, and then stood still. It was Roderick Vawdrey.
At the end of that second season, Jane Umleigh had serious thoughts of turning philanthropist, and taking a shipload of destitute young women to Australia. Anything would be better than this sense of a wasted life and ignominious failure. She was in this frame of mind when Mr. Vawdrey came to Heron's Nest for the shooting.
It was very different with Lady Jane Vawdrey, who never saw her son and his cousin Mabel together without telling herself how exactly they were suited to each other, and what a nice thing it would be for the Briarwood and Ashbourne estates to be united by their marriage.
To enable his friend to read, Tarrant had already lit a lamp. Munden, glancing about the room, said carelessly: 'Do you still possess the furniture of the old place? 'No, was the answer, given with annoyance. 'Vawdrey had it sold for me. 'Pictures, books, and all the nick-nacks? 'Everything.
Vawdrey was henceforth a part. "I did not know you were to be here," said Vixen, "or then that you were in England." "We only came home yesterday, or I should have called at the Abbey House. We have been coming home, or talking about it, for the last three weeks.
