The world of London generally knows what it is about, said Mr. Broune,
gpt
The young lady went down to Liverpool, and Sir Felix was not there.
human
He could not have been there. He has been in bed in this house all day. Did she go?
gpt
So I am told;--and was met at the station by the senior officer of the police at Liverpool, who brought her back to London without letting her go down to the ship at all. She must have thought that her lover was on board;--probably thinks so now. I pity her.
human
How much worse it would have been, had she been allowed to start,
gpt
Yes; that would have been bad. She would have had a sad journey to New York, and a sadder journey back. Has your son told you anything about money?
human
What money?
gpt
They say that the girl entrusted him with a large sum which she had taken from her father. If that be so he certainly ought to lose no time in restoring it. It might be done through some friend. I would do it for that matter. If it be so,--to avoid unpleasantness,--it should be sent back at once. It will be for his credit.
human
That would be dreadful,
gpt
Had you not better ask him about it?
human
What do you mean by a large sum?
gpt
Two or three hundred pounds, perhaps.
human
I have not a shilling in the world, Mr. Broune.
