I wonder whether Umbleby is about the place anywhere ?" The doctor was again standing with his back against the chimney-piece, and with his hands in his pockets.
"You did not see Umbleby as you came in ?" again asked the squire.
"No, I did not; and if you will take my advice you will not see him now; at any rate with reference to this money." "I tell you I must get it from someone; you say Scatcherd won't let me have it." "No, Mr Gresham; I did not say that." "Well, you said what was as bad.

Augusta is to be married in September, and the money must be had.

I have agreed to give Moffat six thousand pounds, and he is to have the money down in hard cash." "Six thousand pounds," said the doctor.

"Well, I suppose that is not more than your daughter should have.

But then, five times six are thirty; thirty thousand pounds will be a large sum to make up." The father thought to himself that his younger girls were but children, and that the trouble of arranging their marriage portions might well be postponed a while.
