He was utterly flung over by the Woodwards; that now was to him an undoubted fact.

When Mrs.Woodward told him that he was never again to see Katie, that was, of course, tantamount to turning him out of the Cottage.

It might be all very well to talk to him of affection and friendship; but it was manifest that no further signs of either were to be shown to him.

He had proved himself to be unworthy, and was no more to be considered as one of the circle which made the drawing-room at Surbiton Cottage its centre.

He could not quite explain all this to Norman, as he could not tell him what had passed between him and Mrs.Woodward; but he said enough to make his friend know that he intended to go to Hampton no more.
It would be wrong, perhaps, to describe Charley as being angry with Mrs.Woodward.He knew that she was only doing her duty by her child; he knew that she was actuated by the purest and best of motives; he was not able to say a word against her even to himself; but, nevertheless, he desired to be revenged on her--not by injuring her, not by injuring Katie--but by injuring himself.
He would make Mrs.Woodward feel what she had done, by rushing, himself, on his own ruin.
