Nobody knew anything about him, except that he was a nephew of old Tyson of Thorneytoft, and had come in for the property.

Nobody cared much for old Tyson of Thorneytoft; he was not exactly--well, no matter, he was very respectable and he was dead, which entitled him to a little consideration.

And as Mr.Nevill Tyson was an unmarried man in those days he naturally attracted some attention on his own account, as well as for the sake of the very respectable old man, his uncle.
He was first seen at a dinner at the Morleys.

Somebody else happened to be the guest of the evening, and somebody else took Lady Morley in to dinner.

Tyson took Miss Batchelor, and I don't think he quite liked it.
