I do not go to the people who are better off than I am and ask them to help support me, nor do I see the least reason why those who are worse off than I am should expect me to support them. Mr. Wensome tried to appeal to his humanity, and the brute only continued to laugh in a cynical way. He declared that poor people did not interest him.
His tenants he was prepared to look after outside his own property he didn't care a snap of the fingers whether people lived or died. Mr. Wensome said it was perfectly awful to hear him talk, and he came away without a penny. Yet his property in this country alone is worth fifty thousand a year. "It is very surprising," Brooks said, thoughtfully.
Do you follow me?" "Perfectly," Brooks answered. "You did not talk like this to Mr. Wensome." "I admit it. He was an ignorant man in whom I felt no interest whatever, and I did not take the trouble. Besides, I will frankly admit that I am in no sense of the word a sentimentalist. The distresses of other people do not interest me particularly.
Some part of the cordiality of his manner had vanished. "Well?" "Lord Arranmore, I wondered whether it was not possible that some mistake had been made," Brooks said. "I wondered whether Mr. Wensome had altogether understood you properly " "I did my best to be explicit," the Marquis murmured. "Or whether you had misunderstood him," Brooks continued, doggedly.
Brooks shook his head. "No! I have heard nothing." "Poor old Mr. Wensome went out all that way purposely to see him. He was kept waiting an hour, and then when he explained his errand the Marquis laughed at him. 'My dear fellow, he said, 'the poor people of Medchester do not interest me in the least.
Wensome trod on my dress the other day, and apologized as though he'd torn it off my back, and the next day he gave me his seat in the car. I always acknowledge him, and he's glad enough to come and talk, but if his wife's with him, she looks straight ahead as though every one else in the car were mummies." Mr. Bullsom cut the end of a cigar thoughtfully, and motioned Louise to get him a light.
