"Is there anything else wrong,—except about Mary?" Silverbridge asked.
"I am told that Gerald owes about fifteen hundred pounds at Cambridge."
"So much as that! I knew he had a few horses there."
"It is not the money, but the absence of principle,—that a young man should have no feeling that he ought to live within certain prescribed means! Do you know what you have had from Mr. Morton?"
"Not exactly, sir."
"It is different with you. But a man, let him be who he may, should live within certain means. As for your sister, I think she will break my heart." Silverbridge found it to be quite impossible to say anything in answer to this. "Are you going to church?" asked the Duke.
"I was not thinking of doing so particularly."
"Do you not ever go?"
"Yes;—sometimes. I will go with you now, if you like it, sir."
"I had thought of going, but my mind is too much harassed. I do not see why you should not go."
