"And who had a better right? Through whose means did you make your fortune? Besides this, haven't I always given you a fair chance to win back all you could?"
"I want no more of such chances,"
"But you promised; and I want to know whether you mean to keep that promise or not."
"Supposing I do, you would not have me leave home to-night, would you?"
"Yes, to-night."
"But my brother, as you have already discovered, I presume, has just arrived on a visit; and you know I can't decently leave him."
"And what do I care for that? Say whether you will meet me at the old room, or not, as soon as your company have cleared out?"
"You are unreasonable, cruel, Gaut."
"Then say you will not go, and see what will come of it, Mark Elwood!"
