    ^The Seacombes。 ̄ 

    ^Stuff� �I have cut them�察院�

    Hunsden looked at me incredulously。 

    ^I have�察院�said I�察 �and that definitively。 ̄ 

    ^You must mean they have cut you�察�William。 ̄ 

    ^As you please。 They offered me their patronage on condition of 

my     entering    the   Church�察     �I  declined    both    the   terms    and    the 

recompence�察       �I  withdrew      from    my    cold   uncles�察   �and    preferred 

throwing       myself    into    my    elder   brother¨s     arms�察    �from    whose 

affectionate embrace I am now torn by the cruel intermeddling of 

a stranger!of yourself�察�in short。 ̄ 

    I   could   not   repress   a   half´smile   as   I   said   this�察  �a   similar   demi´

manifestation       of  feeling   appeared      at  the   same     moment      on 

Hunsden¨s lips。 

   ^Oh�察�I see� 院�said he�察�looking into my eyes�察�and it was evident he 

did see right down into my heart。 Having sat a minute or two with 

his chin resting on his hand�察�diligently occupied in the continued 

perusal of my countenance�察�he went on�此� 

   ^Seriously�察     �have    you    then    nothing     to  expect     from    the 

Seacombes�拭院�

   ^Yes�察�rejection and repulsion。 Why do you ask me twice�拭�How 

can hands stained with the ink of a counting´house�察�soiled with the 

grease of a wool´warehouse�察�ever again be permitted to come into 

contact with aristocratic palms�拭院�

   ^There   would      be   a   difficulty�察 �no   doubt�察 �still  you  are   such   a 

complete      Seacombe      in   appearance�察    �feature�察  �language�察    �almost 

manner�察�I wonder they should disown you。 ̄ 

   ^They have disowned me�察�so talk no more about it。 ̄ 

   ^Do you regret it�察�William�拭院�

   ^No。 ̄ 

   ^Why not�察�lad�拭院�

   ^Because they are not people with whom I could ever have had 

any sympathy。 ̄ 

   ^I say you are one of them。 ̄ 

   ^That merely proves that you know nothing at all about it�察�I am 

my mother¨s son�察�but not my uncles¨ nephew。 ̄ 

   ^Still!one   of   your   uncles   is   a   lord�察  �though   rather   an   obscure 

and not a very wealthy one�察�and the other a right honourable�此�you 

should consider worldly interest。 ̄ 

   ^Nonsense�察  �Mr。   Hunsden。   You   know   or   may   know   that   even 

had   I   desired   to   be   submissive   to   my   uncles�察  �I   could   not   have

stooped with a good enough grace ever to have won their favour。 I 

should have sacrificed my own comfort and not have gained their 

patronage in return。 ̄ 

    ^Very likely!so you  calculated   your  wisest  plan   was   to  follow 

your own devices at once�拭院�

    ^Exactly。 I must follow my own devices!I must�察�till the day of 

my death�察�because I can neither comprehend�察�adopt�察�nor work out 

those of other people。 ̄ 

    Hunsden   yawned。   ^Well�察院  �said   he�察   �in   all   this�察  �I   see   but   one 

thing clearly´that is�察�that the   whole   affair is no  business   of mine。 

^He stretched himself and again yawned。 ^I wonder what  time   it 

is�察院�he went on�此 �I have an appointment for seven o¨clock。 ̄ 

    ^Three quarters past six by my watch。 ̄ 

    ^Well�察  �then   I¨ll   go。 ̄   He   got   up。   ^You¨ll   not   meddle   with   trade 

again�拭院�said he�察�leaning his elbow on the mantelpiece。 

    ^No�察�I think not。 ̄ 

    ^You would be a fool if you did。 Probably�察�after all�察�you¨ll think 

better of your uncles¨ proposal and go into the Church。 ̄ 

    ^A   singular   regeneration   must   take   place   in   my   whole   inner 

and   outer   man   before   I   do   that。   A   good   clergyman   is   one   of   the 

best of men。 ̄ 

    ^Indeed� �Do you think so�拭院�interrupted Hunsden�察�scoffingly。 

    ^I do�察�and no mistake。 But I have not the peculiar points which 

go to make a good clergyman�察�and rather than adopt a profession 

for   which     I  have   no   vocation�察   �I  would     endure    extremities     of 

hardship from poverty。 ̄ 

    ^You¨re     a  mighty   difficult   customer      to  suit。  You   won¨t   be   a 

tradesman   or   a   parson�察  �you   can¨t   be   a   lawyer�察  �or   a   doctor�察  �or   a 

gentleman�察      �because     you¨ve    no   money。     I¨d  recommend        you   to

travel。 ̄ 

    ^What� �without money�拭院�

    ^You    must    travel  in  search    of  money�察   �man。    You   can   speak 

French!with a vile English accent�察�no doubt!still�察�you can speak 

it。  Go   on  to   the  Continent�察  �and    see  what   will  turn   up   for   you 

there。 ̄ 

    ^God knows I should like to go� 院�exclaimed I with involuntary 

ardour。 

    ^Go�此�what the deuce hinders you�拭�You may get to Brussels�察�for 

instance�察�for five or six pounds�察�if you know how to manage with 

economy。 ̄ 

    ^Necessity would teach me if I didn¨t。 ̄ 

    ^Go�察�then�察�and let your wits make a way for you when you get 

there。 I know Brussels almost as well as I know X!�察�and I am sure 

it would suit such a one as you better than London。 ̄ 

    ^But occupation�察�Mr。 Hunsden� �I must go where occupation is 

to be had�察�and how could I get recommendation�察�or introduction�察�

or employment at Brussels�拭院�

    ^There speaks the organ of caution。 You hate to advance a step 

before   you   know   every   inch   of   the   way。   You   haven¨t   a   sheet   of 

paper and a pen´and´ink�拭院�

    ^I hope so�察院�and I produced writing materials with alacrity�察�for I 

guessed what he was going to do。 He sat down�察�wrote a few lines�察�

folded�察�sealed�察�and addressed a letter�察�and held it out to me。 

    ^There�察   �Prudence�察     �there¨s   a  pioneer    to  hew   down    the   first 

rough  difficulties   of   your   path。   I   know   well   enough�察  �lad�察  �you   are 

not   one   of   those   who   will   run   their   neck   into   a   noose   without 

seeing how they are to get it out again�察�and you¨re   right  there。   A 

reckless   man   is   my   aversion�察  �and   nothing   should   ever   persuade

me   to   meddle   with   the   concerns   of   such   a   one。   Those   who   are 

reckless   for  themselves  are   generally  ten   times   more   so  for  their 

friends。 ̄ 

    ^This is a letter of   introduction�察  �I suppose�拭院�said   I�察  �taking  the 

epistle。 

    ^Yes。   With  that  in   your  pocket  you  will   run   no   risk   of   finding 

yourself in a state of absolute destitution�察�which�察�I know�察�you will 

regard as a degradation!so should I�察�for that matter。 The person 

to whom you will present it generally has two or three respectable 

places depending upon his recommendation。 ̄ 

    ^That will just suit me�察院�said I。 

    ^Well�察  �and   where¨s   your   gratitude�拭院  �demanded   Mr。   Hunsden�察�

^don¨t you know how to say `Thank you�拭� ̄ 

    ^I¨ve fifteen pounds and a watch�察�which my godmother�察�whom I 

never saw�察�gave me eighteen years ago�察院�was my rather irrelevant 

answer�察�and I further avowed myself a happy man�察�and professed 

that I did not envy any being in Christendom。 

    ^But your gratitude�拭院�

    ^I   shall   be  off  presently�察  �Mr。   Hunsden!to´morrow�察           �if  all  be
