"Am I to understand, then, that _this_ is the reason why Harry left no money?
You mean to say you have allowed his relatives to believe that he had wasted a large sum, whilst they supposed that he was studying soberly in London"---- "If you are astounded," returned the other, raising his eyebrows, "I certainly am no less so.

As your nephew made note of these lendings, wasn't he equally careful to jot down a memorandum when the debt was discharged ?" Mr.Charnock regarded him fixedly, and for a moment seemed in doubt.
"You paid back these sums ?" "With what kind of action did you credit me ?" said Glazzard, quietly.
The other hesitated, but wore no less stern a look.
"I am obliged to declare, Mr.Glazzard, that I can't trust your word.
That's a very strong thing to have to say to a man such as I have thought you--a man of whom Harry always spoke as if there wasn't his like on earth.

My acquaintance with you is very slight; I know very little indeed about you, except what Harry told me.

But the man who could deliberately borrow hundreds of pounds from a lad only just of age--a simple, trustful, good-natured country lad, who had little but his own exertions to depend upon--_such_ a man will tell a lie to screen himself! This money was _not_ paid back; there isn't a word about it in the diary, and there's the fact that Harry had got rid of his money in a way no one could explain.

You had it, and you have kept it, sir!" Glazzard let his eyes stray about the room.
