The Adventures of Harry Richmond

CHAPTER I
20/25

Here, Harry, come to me; come to your grandad.' Mr.Richmond caught the boy just when he was turning to run.
'That gentleman,' he said, pointing to the squire, 'is your grandpapa.

I am your papa.

You must learn at any cost to know and love your papa.

If I call for you to-morrow or next day they will have played tricks with Harry Richmond, and hid him.

Mr.Beltham, I request you, for the final time, to accord me your promise observe, I accept your promise--that I shall, at my demand, to-morrow or the next day, obtain an interview with my wife.' The squire coughed out an emphatic 'Never!' and fortified it with an oath as he repeated it upon a fuller breath.
'Sir, I will condescend to entreat you to grant this permission,' said Mr.Richmond, urgently.
'No, never: I won't!' rejoined the squire, red in the face from a fit of angry coughing.
