It may be that he will be able to sell a few shares at a profit; but, if I understand the matter rightly, he has no capital to go into such a business. 'No; he has no capital. 'Dear Lady Carbury, I would place no dependence at all on such a promise as that. 'You think he should marry the girl then in spite of the father? Mr Broune hesitated before he replied to this question.
Broune had declared his very strong belief, his thorough conviction, that Melmotte had committed various forgeries, that his speculations had gone so much against him as to leave him a ruined man, and, in short, that the great Melmotte bubble was on the very point of bursting.
But Lady Carbury, who knew her son well, assured him that Felix would be restrained in his expenditure by no such prudence as such a purpose would indicate. 'It will be gone, she said, 'long before they reach their destination. 'Then why the deuce should you give it him? said Mr Broune.
But the end of all was to induce some one to do something which would cause a publisher to give her good payment for indifferent writing, or an editor to be lenient when, upon the merits of the case, he should have been severe. Among all her literary friends, Mr Broune was the one in whom she most trusted; and Mr Broune was fond of handsome women.
But I think I understand yours; and if you can confide your happiness with me, I am prepared to entrust mine to your keeping. Poor Mr Broune! Though endowed with gifts peculiarly adapted for the editing of a daily newspaper, he could have had but little capacity for reading a woman's character when he talked of the freshness of Lady Carbury's young mind!
But that any man, placed as Mr Broune was in the world, blessed with power, with a large income, with influence throughout all the world around him, courted, fêted, feared and almost worshipped, that he should desire to share her fortunes, her misfortunes, her struggles, her poverty and her obscurity, was not within the scope of her imagination.
A clergyman was found willing to expatriate himself, but the income suggested was very small. The Protestant English population of the commercial town in question, though pious, was not liberal. The heartiness had been so complete that it had at last devolved upon Mr Broune to appoint the clergyman; and, as with all the aid that could be found, the income was still small, the Rev.
It will be for his credit. This Mr Broune said with a clear intimation of the importance of his advice. It was dreadful to Lady Carbury. She had no money to give back, nor, as she was well aware, had her son. She had heard nothing of any money. What did Mr Broune mean by a large sum? 'That would be dreadful, she said. 'Had you not better ask him about it? Lady Carbury was again in tears.
Under his teaching she had almost made up her mind to give up Mr Alf. Of nothing was Mr Broune more certain than that Mr Alf was making a fool of himself in regard to the Westminster election and those attacks on Melmotte. 'The world of London generally knows what it is about, said Mr Broune, 'and the London world believes Mr Melmotte to be sound.
He had never said a civil word of her in his paper; but still she had an idea that it was well to be on good terms with so great a power. She entertained a mysterious awe for Mr Alf, much in excess of any similar feeling excited by Mr Broune, in regard to whom her awe had been much diminished since he had made her an offer of marriage.
