Mr.
Wenham
continued
with
the
same
fluent
oratory
,
which
in
his
place
in
Parliament
he
had
so
often
practised
--
"
I
sat
for
an
hour
or
more
by
Lord
Steyne
's
bedside
,
beseeching
,
imploring
Lord
Steyne
to
forego
his
intention
of
demanding
a
meeting
.
I
pointed
out
to
him
that
the
circumstances
were
after
all
suspicious
--
they
were
suspicious
.
I
acknowledge
it
--
any
man
in
your
position
might
have
been
taken
in
--
I
said
that
a
man
furious
with
jealousy
is
to
all
intents
and
purposes
a
madman
,
and
should
be
as
such
regarded
--
that
a
duel
between
you
must
lead
to
the
disgrace
of
all
parties
concerned
--
that
a
man
of
his
Lordship
's
exalted
station
had
no
right
in
these
days
,
when
the
most
atrocious
revolutionary
principles
,
and
the
most
dangerous
levelling
doctrines
are
preached
among
the
vulgar
,
to
create
a
public
scandal
;
and
that
,
however
innocent
,
the
common
people
would
insist
that
he
was
guilty
.
In
fine
,
I
implored
him
not
to
send
the
challenge
.
"
"
I
do
n't
believe
one
word
of
the
whole
story
,
"
said
Rawdon
,
grinding
his
teeth
.
"
I
believe
it
a
d
--
--
--
lie
,
and
that
you
're
in
it
,
Mr.
Wenham
.
If
the
challenge
do
n't
come
from
him
,
by
Jove
it
shall
come
from
me
.
"
Mr.
Wenham
turned
deadly
pale
at
this
savage
interruption
of
the
Colonel
and
looked
towards
the
door
.
But
he
found
a
champion
in
Captain
Macmurdo
.
That
gentleman
rose
up
with
an
oath
and
rebuked
Rawdon
for
his
language
.
"
You
put
the
affair
into
my
hands
,
and
you
shall
act
as
I
think
fit
,
by
Jove
,
and
not
as
you
do
.
You
have
no
right
to
insult
Mr.
Wenham
with
this
sort
of
language
;
and
dammy
,
Mr.
Wenham
,
you
deserve
an
apology
.
And
as
for
a
challenge
to
Lord
Steyne
,
you
may
get
somebody
else
to
carry
it
,
I
wo
n't
.
If
my
lord
,
after
being
thrashed
,
chooses
to
sit
still
,
dammy
let
him
.
And
as
for
the
affair
with
--
with
Mrs.
Crawley
,
my
belief
is
,
there
's
nothing
proved
at
all
:
that
your
wife
's
innocent
,
as
innocent
as
Mr.
Wenham
says
she
is
;
and
at
any
rate
that
you
would
be
a
d
--
fool
not
to
take
the
place
and
hold
your
tongue
.
"
"
Captain
Macmurdo
,
you
speak
like
a
man
of
sense
,
"
Mr.
Wenham
cried
out
,
immensely
relieved
--
"
I
forget
any
words
that
Colonel
Crawley
has
used
in
the
irritation
of
the
moment
.
"
"
I
thought
you
would
,
"
Rawdon
said
with
a
sneer
.
"
Shut
your
mouth
,
you
old
stoopid
,
"
the
Captain
said
good-naturedly
.
"
Mr.
Wenham
ai
n't
a
fighting
man
;
and
quite
right
,
too
.
"
"
This
matter
,
in
my
belief
,
"
the
Steyne
emissary
cried
,
"
ought
to
be
buried
in
the
most
profound
oblivion
.
A
word
concerning
it
should
never
pass
these
doors
.
I
speak
in
the
interest
of
my
friend
,
as
well
as
of
Colonel
Crawley
,
who
persists
in
considering
me
his
enemy
.
"
