Scarcely had this alliance taken place, and the full career of nuptial enjoyments begun, when his ill fate exposed him to the frauds of Welbeck, and brought him, in one evil hour, to the brink of insolvency.

'He should be encouraged, said Lord George. 'Make a note of Dennis. I'll talk with him. Gashford obeyed, and went on reading from his list: "The Friends of Reason, half-a-guinea.
