"And nothing is to be done to Green!"
"I should say nothing,—on that score."
"And he has got they say five-and-twenty thousand pounds clear money."
"It is a pity, but it cannot be helped. I will have nothing further to do with it. Of course I cannot bind you, but I have told you my wishes." The poor wretch was silent, but still it seemed as though he did not wish to go quite yet. "If you have said what you have got to say, Major Tifto, I may as well tell you that my time is engaged."
"And must that be all?"
"What else?"
"I am in such a state of mind, Lord Silverbridge, that it would be a satisfaction to tell it all, even against myself."
"I can't prevent you."
Then Tifto got up from his chair, as though he were going. "I wish I knew what I was going to do with myself."
"I don't know that I can help you, Major Tifto."
