No
,
"
said
Fred
,
biting
his
lip
,
and
speaking
with
more
difficulty
;
"
but
I
know
it
will
be
of
no
use
to
ask
him
;
and
unless
it
were
of
use
,
I
should
not
like
to
mention
Mr
.
Garth
’
s
name
in
the
matter
.
"
"
It
has
come
at
an
unfortunate
time
,
"
said
Caleb
,
in
his
hesitating
way
,
looking
down
at
the
notes
and
nervously
fingering
the
paper
,
"
Christmas
upon
us
—
I
’
m
rather
hard
up
just
now
.
You
see
,
I
have
to
cut
out
everything
like
a
tailor
with
short
measure
.
What
can
we
do
,
Susan
?
I
shall
want
every
farthing
we
have
in
the
bank
.
It
’
s
a
hundred
and
ten
pounds
,
the
deuce
take
it
!
"
"
I
must
give
you
the
ninety
-
two
pounds
that
I
have
put
by
for
Alfred
’
s
premium
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Garth
,
gravely
and
decisively
,
though
a
nice
ear
might
have
discerned
a
slight
tremor
in
some
of
the
words
.
"
And
I
have
no
doubt
that
Mary
has
twenty
pounds
saved
from
her
salary
by
this
time
.
She
will
advance
it
.
"
Mrs
.
Garth
had
not
again
looked
at
Fred
,
and
was
not
in
the
least
calculating
what
words
she
should
use
to
cut
him
the
most
effectively
.
Like
the
eccentric
woman
she
was
,
she
was
at
present
absorbed
in
considering
what
was
to
be
done
,
and
did
not
fancy
that
the
end
could
be
better
achieved
by
bitter
remarks
or
explosions
.
But
she
had
made
Fred
feel
for
the
first
time
something
like
the
tooth
of
remorse
.
Curiously
enough
,
his
pain
in
the
affair
beforehand
had
consisted
almost
entirely
in
the
sense
that
he
must
seem
dishonorable
,
and
sink
in
the
opinion
of
the
Garths
:
he
had
not
occupied
himself
with
the
inconvenience
and
possible
injury
that
his
breach
might
occasion
them
,
for
this
exercise
of
the
imagination
on
other
people
’
s
needs
is
not
common
with
hopeful
young
gentlemen
.
Indeed
we
are
most
of
us
brought
up
in
the
notion
that
the
highest
motive
for
not
doing
a
wrong
is
something
irrespective
of
the
beings
who
would
suffer
the
wrong
.
But
at
this
moment
he
suddenly
saw
himself
as
a
pitiful
rascal
who
was
robbing
two
women
of
their
savings
.
"
I
shall
certainly
pay
it
all
,
Mrs
.
Garth
—
ultimately
,
"
he
stammered
out
.
"
Yes
,
ultimately
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Garth
,
who
having
a
special
dislike
to
fine
words
on
ugly
occasions
,
could
not
now
repress
an
epigram
.
"
But
boys
cannot
well
be
apprenticed
ultimately
:
they
should
be
apprenticed
at
fifteen
.
"
She
had
never
been
so
little
inclined
to
make
excuses
for
Fred
.
"
I
was
the
most
in
the
wrong
,
Susan
,
"
said
Caleb
.
"
Fred
made
sure
of
finding
the
money
.
But
I
’
d
no
business
to
be
fingering
bills
.
I
suppose
you
have
looked
all
round
and
tried
all
honest
means
?
"
he
added
,
fixing
his
merciful
gray
eyes
on
Fred
.
Caleb
was
too
delicate
,
to
specify
Mr
.
Featherstone
.
"
Yes
,
I
have
tried
everything
—
I
really
have
.
I
should
have
had
a
hundred
and
thirty
pounds
ready
but
for
a
misfortune
with
a
horse
which
I
was
about
to
sell
.
