"My dear Frank," said he, half blubbering, "it is not the money; but, you see, it so vexes your poor mother; you must be careful in future; and, zounds, boy, it will be all yours one day; only don't calculate on it; I could not bear that, I could not, indeed." "Calculate!" cried Frank. "Oh, sir, can you think it?"

"She is in the toils! She cannot escape me!" he muttered. "But" and here his brow darkened "it vexes me to see how she repels my advances, as if I were some loathsome thing!
There is no cant or parade or tinsel or clap-trap about him.

I don't believe he is worth a sovereign!" "Stop! I hear them moving in the drawing-room, so, my dear boy, fly up to your roost at once.
