You mean Felix and Miss Melmotte. I hate to think of such things, Mr. Montague.

It would be a magnificent chance for him.
human
To marry a girl, the daughter of vulgar people, just because she will have a great deal of money? He can't care for her really,--because she is rich.
gpt
But he wants money so dreadfully! It seems to me that there is no other condition of things under which Felix can face the world, but by being the husband of an heiress.
human
What a dreadful thing to say!
gpt
But isn't it true? He has beggared himself.
human
Oh, Mr. Montague.
gpt
And he will beggar you and your mother.
human
I don't care about myself.
gpt
Others do though.

I did not think you would have spoken so harshly of Felix.
gpt
I don't speak harshly of him, Miss Carbury. I haven't said that it was his own fault. He seems to be one of those who have been born to spend money; and as this girl will have plenty of money to spend, I think it would be a good thing if he were to marry her. If Felix had ú20,000 a year, everybody would think him the finest fellow in the world.
