His
partner
,
Daniel
Doyce
,
was
something
of
a
stumbling
-
block
in
Mr
Meagles
’
s
way
,
the
worthy
gentleman
being
not
at
all
clear
in
his
own
anxious
mind
but
that
the
mingling
of
Daniel
with
official
Barnacleism
might
produce
some
explosive
combination
,
even
at
a
marriage
breakfast
.
The
national
offender
,
however
,
lightened
him
of
his
uneasiness
by
coming
down
to
Twickenham
to
represent
that
he
begged
,
with
the
freedom
of
an
old
friend
,
and
as
a
favour
to
one
,
that
he
might
not
be
invited
.
‘
For
,
’
said
he
,
‘
as
my
business
with
this
set
of
gentlemen
was
to
do
a
public
duty
and
a
public
service
,
and
as
their
business
with
me
was
to
prevent
it
by
wearing
my
soul
out
,
I
think
we
had
better
not
eat
and
drink
together
with
a
show
of
being
of
one
mind
.
’
Mr
Meagles
was
much
amused
by
his
friend
’
s
oddity
;
and
patronised
him
with
a
more
protecting
air
of
allowance
than
usual
,
when
he
rejoined
:
‘
Well
,
well
,
Dan
,
you
shall
have
your
own
crotchety
way
.
’
To
Mr
Henry
Gowan
,
as
the
time
approached
,
Clennam
tried
to
convey
by
all
quiet
and
unpretending
means
,
that
he
was
frankly
and
disinterestedly
desirous
of
tendering
him
any
friendship
he
would
accept
.
Mr
Gowan
treated
him
in
return
with
his
usual
ease
,
and
with
his
usual
show
of
confidence
,
which
was
no
confidence
at
all
.
‘
You
see
,
Clennam
,
’
he
happened
to
remark
in
the
course
of
conversation
one
day
,
when
they
were
walking
near
the
Cottage
within
a
week
of
the
marriage
,
‘
I
am
a
disappointed
man
.
That
you
know
already
.
’
‘
Upon
my
word
,
’
said
Clennam
,
a
little
embarrassed
,
‘
I
scarcely
know
how
.
’
‘
Why
,
’
returned
Gowan
,
‘
I
belong
to
a
clan
,
or
a
clique
,
or
a
family
,
or
a
connection
,
or
whatever
you
like
to
call
it
,
that
might
have
provided
for
me
in
any
one
of
fifty
ways
,
and
that
took
it
into
its
head
not
to
do
it
at
all
.
So
here
I
am
,
a
poor
devil
of
an
artist
.
’
Clennam
was
beginning
,
‘
But
on
the
other
hand
—
’
when
Gowan
took
him
up
.
‘
Yes
,
yes
,
I
know
.
I
have
the
good
fortune
of
being
beloved
by
a
beautiful
and
charming
girl
whom
I
love
with
all
my
heart
.
’
(
‘
Is
there
much
of
it
?
’
Clennam
thought
.
And
as
he
thought
it
,
felt
ashamed
of
himself
.
)
‘
And
of
finding
a
father
-
in
-
law
who
is
a
capital
fellow
and
a
liberal
good
old
boy
.
Still
,
I
had
other
prospects
washed
and
combed
into
my
childish
head
when
it
was
washed
and
combed
for
me
,
and
I
took
them
to
a
public
school
when
I
washed
and
combed
it
for
myself
,
and
I
am
here
without
them
,
and
thus
I
am
a
disappointed
man
.
