'Aren't you never going to speak to me any more ?' she said; but Torpenhow was looking at Dick.
'What a stock of vanity the man has! I'll take him in hand to-morrow and make much of him.

He deserves it .-- Eh! what was that, Bess ?' 'Nothing.

I'll put things tidy here a little, and then I'll go.

You couldn't give the that three months' pay now, could you?
He said you were to.' Torpenhow gave her a check and went to his own rooms.
