What good would it do to bring him back?
I have been brought up to it; I am used to it; I have worked things out 'according to the state of life to which I was called.' Take what I've always had away from me, and I am crippled; give him what he never had, and it doesn't work into his scheme.

It would do him no good and me harm--Where's the use?
Besides, I am still my father's son.

Don't you see how unreasonable you are?
Luke Claridge was right.

He knew that he and his belonged to a different sphere.

He didn't speak.
