He found it difficult to speak to him as a master, and begged that Mrs.Harrington would, as a mother.
The reply of Mrs.Mel is dashed with a trifle of cajolery.

She has heard from her son, and seeing that her son takes all that time from his right studies, to earn money wherewith to pay debts of which Mr.Goren is cognizant, she trusts that their oldest friend will overlook it.
Mr.Goren rejoins that he considers that he need not have been excluded from young Mr.Harrington's confidence.

Moreover, it is a grief to him that the young gentleman should refrain from accepting any of his suggestions as to the propriety of requesting some, at least, of his rich and titled acquaintance to confer on him the favour of their patronage.

'Which they would not repent,' adds Mr.Goren, 'and might learn to be very much obliged to him for, in return for kindnesses extended to him.' Notwithstanding all my efforts, you see, the poor boy is thrust into the shop.

There he is, without a doubt.
