'Why? she repeated. 'Nothing could be more intensely correct. Mrs Ottley's staying with me why shouldn't I have the pleasure of seeing Aylmer because Bruce is having a heavenly time on board ship? 'I suppose there's that point of view, said Vincy, rather bewildered. 'I say, Edith! 'About Bruce having a heavenly time on board ship a she always grumbles; she's always complaining.
At one moment you seem to like the man, but as soon as I want to make a pleasant arrangement you're off it. So like a woman, isn't it, Vincy? He laughed. 'Isn't it? answered Vincy. 'Well, look here, I'm going right down to Jermyn Street purposely to tell him. I'll be back to dinner; do stop, Vincy.
'And to think I was passing the remark only the other day that I thought I ought to look her up, in a manner of speaking, or write, or something, continued Vincy; 'and who is the poor dear man? Do you know? He looked at her with a sudden vague suspicion of he knew not what. 'Bruce was always inclined to be romantic, you know, she said steadily. 'Oh, give over!
Edith felt sure of it. It was an unaccountable satisfaction. 'Yes; he's all right. And now give me a detailed description of your children. 'I can't. I never could talk about them. 'I see.... I should like to see them.... I saw you speak to Vincy. Dear little fellow, isn't he? 'He's a great friend of mine. 'I'm tremendously devoted to him, too. He's what used to be called an exquisite.

Vincy, whose expense in handsome crape seemed to imply the most presumptuous hopes, aggravated by a bloom of complexion which told pretty plainly that she was not a blood-relation, but of that generally objectionable class called wife's kin.
DANIEL: Tragedy of Philotas. Mr. Vincy went home from the reading of the will with his point of view considerably changed in relation to many subjects.
For my part I have some fellow-feeling with Dr. Sprague: one's self-satisfaction is an untaxed kind of property which it is very unpleasant to find deprecated. Lydgate's remark, however, did not meet the sense of the company. Mr. Vincy said, that if he could have his way, he would not put disagreeable fellows anywhere. "Hang your reforms!" said Mr. Chichely.
'It's jade the latest thing. 'I don't care if it is the fashion. It's no use. Here, try it, Vincy. He handed it to Vincy, who gave Bruce a quick look, and then tried it. 'Rather quaint and pretty, I think. I like the effect, he said, handing it back to Bruce.
