"It is 'Light come light go' with the money of that sort of folk, I reckon." "Just so; and though my money comes light enough--that is, I have not to earn it, since my mother makes me an allowance--I don't choose to risk it at the card-table." "Quite right, quite right, young gentleman," answered the other, approvingly.

"But there are some prudent gentry even at Crompton, I suppose.

Parson Whymper, for instance, he don't gamble, do he ?" "Certainly not; he is much too sagacious a man, even if he were rich enough, to play; but for him, indeed, some say the Squire would have come to the end of his tether before this.

He manages every thing at Crompton, as you know." "And yet Carew don't want money ?" said the landlord, musing.
"Well, I have been his guest," returned Richard, smiling; "and it is scarcely fair of me to speak of his embarrassments.

He does not certainly want it so much but that he can still afford to indulge his whims, Mr.Trevethick, if that's what you mean." "That's just what I did mean," said the old man, frankly.
