Do you think there was any love?
Lady Crabs is a dev'lish fine woman, but she's not a fool--she married me for my coronet, and I married her for her money." "Well, my lord, you need not ask me, I think, why I married the daughter-in-law." "Yes, but I DO, my dear boy.

How the deuce are you to live?
Dawkins's five thousand pounds won't last forever; and afterwards ?" "You don't mean, my lord--you don't--I mean, you can't-- D---!" says he, starting up, and losing all patience, "you don't dare to say that Miss Griffin had not a fortune of ten thousand a year ?" My lord was rolling up, and wetting betwigst his lips, another segar; he lookt up, after he had lighted it, and said quietly-- "Certainly, Miss Griffin had a fortune of ten thousand a year." "Well, sir, and has she not got it now?
Has she spent it in a week ?" "SHE HAS NOT GOT A SIX-PENCE NOW: SHE MARRIED WITHOUT HER MOTHER'S CONSENT!" Deuceace sunk down in a chair; and I never see such a dreadful picture of despair as there was in the face of that retchid man!--he writhed, and nasht his teeth, he tore open his coat, and wriggled madly the stump of his left hand, until, fairly beat, he threw it over his livid pale face, and sinking backwards, fairly wept alowd.
Bah! it's a dreddfle thing to hear a man crying! his pashn torn up from the very roots of his heart, as it must be before it can git such a vent.

My lord, meanwhile, rolled his segar, lighted it, and went on.
"My dear boy, the girl has not a shilling.

I wished to have left you alone in peace, with your four thousand pounds: you might have lived decently upon it in Germany, where money is at 5 per cent, where your duns would not find you, and a couple of hundred a year would have kept you and your wife in comfort.

But, you see, Lady Crabs would not listen to it.
