"
I
suppose
Lord
Steyne
wo
n't
talk
about
it
very
much
,
"
said
Captain
Macmurdo
;
"
and
I
do
n't
see
why
our
side
should
.
The
affair
ai
n't
a
very
pretty
one
,
any
way
you
take
it
,
and
the
less
said
about
it
the
better
.
It
's
you
are
thrashed
,
and
not
us
;
and
if
you
are
satisfied
,
why
,
I
think
,
we
should
be
.
"
Mr.
Wenham
took
his
hat
,
upon
this
,
and
Captain
Macmurdo
following
him
to
the
door
,
shut
it
upon
himself
and
Lord
Steyne
's
agent
,
leaving
Rawdon
chafing
within
.
When
the
two
were
on
the
other
side
,
Macmurdo
looked
hard
at
the
other
ambassador
and
with
an
expression
of
anything
but
respect
on
his
round
jolly
face
.
"
You
do
n't
stick
at
a
trifle
,
Mr.
Wenham
,
"
he
said
.
"
You
flatter
me
,
Captain
Macmurdo
,
"
answered
the
other
with
a
smile
.
"
Upon
my
honour
and
conscience
now
,
Mrs.
Crawley
did
ask
us
to
sup
after
the
opera
.
"
"
Of
course
;
and
Mrs.
Wenham
had
one
of
her
head-aches
.
I
say
,
I
've
got
a
thousand-pound
note
here
,
which
I
will
give
you
if
you
will
give
me
a
receipt
,
please
;
and
I
will
put
the
note
up
in
an
envelope
for
Lord
Steyne
.
My
man
sha
n't
fight
him
.
But
we
had
rather
not
take
his
money
.
"
"
It
was
all
a
mistake
--
all
a
mistake
,
my
dear
sir
,
"
the
other
said
with
the
utmost
innocence
of
manner
;
and
was
bowed
down
the
Club
steps
by
Captain
Macmurdo
,
just
as
Sir
Pitt
Crawley
ascended
them
.
There
was
a
slight
acquaintance
between
these
two
gentlemen
,
and
the
Captain
,
going
back
with
the
Baronet
to
the
room
where
the
latter
's
brother
was
,
told
Sir
Pitt
,
in
confidence
,
that
he
had
made
the
affair
all
right
between
Lord
Steyne
and
the
Colonel
.
Sir
Pitt
was
well
pleased
,
of
course
,
at
this
intelligence
,
and
congratulated
his
brother
warmly
upon
the
peaceful
issue
of
the
affair
,
making
appropriate
moral
remarks
upon
the
evils
of
duelling
and
the
unsatisfactory
nature
of
that
sort
of
settlement
of
disputes
.
And
after
this
preface
,
he
tried
with
all
his
eloquence
to
effect
a
reconciliation
between
Rawdon
and
his
wife
.
He
recapitulated
the
statements
which
Becky
had
made
,
pointed
out
the
probabilities
of
their
truth
,
and
asserted
his
own
firm
belief
in
her
innocence
.
But
Rawdon
would
not
hear
of
it
.
"
She
has
kep
money
concealed
from
me
these
ten
years
,
"
he
said
"
She
swore
,
last
night
only
,
she
had
none
from
Steyne
.
She
knew
it
was
all
up
,
directly
I
found
it
.
If
she
's
not
guilty
,
Pitt
,
she
's
as
bad
as
guilty
,
and
I
'll
never
see
her
again
--
never
.
"
His
head
sank
down
on
his
chest
as
he
spoke
the
words
,
and
he
looked
quite
broken
and
sad
.
