And yet the money must be had from somewhere, or they would be ruined.

Her father must go up to town to see him, she would have no letter-writing; one never knows how a letter may be read.
He must see Mr.Bingham, and if possible bring him down to Bryngelly.

"You must not go to Mr.Davies, father," she said; "he is a hard man, and would only refuse and put you in a false position; you must go to Mr.Bingham.

He will lend you a hundred pounds at once.
