Then he added, confidentially, "The fact is, young un, I'm hard-up. I lost a lot of money on the race, owing to that that is, because Parrett's lost. The thing is, can you lend me a couple of sovereigns, Wyndham?" Wyndham's face clouded for a moment, but he replied quickly, "Yes, I can, Silk, if you'll promise to see it doesn't get out about last Saturday." "Of course I will.
Coates," said he, "I wish you'd come to my study and help me choose half a dozen trout-flies, there's a good fellow. I've had a book up from the town, and I don't know which are the best to use." "All serene," said Coates, "I'll be there directly. I'm just going to take this youngster to the captain." "Who is the captain?" said Ashley.

If their lives were closely examined would they all reveal, in their intimate and familiar relations, the most subtle and insidious forms of self-service? In fact, was not the mighty ego the source of their record-making in the world? ... Peter banished this rush of conjectures. Whatever the father, the whole art of the life of Metz Wyndham's daughter was the loss of the love of self.
