After having done which, they parted with all cordial expressions of good-will and brotherly feeling.

George went back to his dusty chambers in Gray's Inn, and Philip prepared for his return to Barlingford and his marriage with Georgina Halliday.
For ten years Georgy had been Philip Sheldon's wife, and she had found no reason to complain of her second choice.

The current of her life had flowed smoothly enough since her first lover had become her husband.
She still wore moire-antique dresses and gold chains; and if the dresses were of more simple fashion, and the chains were less obtrusively displayed, she had to thank Mr.Sheldon for the refinement in her taste.

Her views of life in general had expanded under Mr.
Sheldon's influence.

She no longer thought a high-wheeled dog-cart and a skittish mare the acme of earthly splendour; for she had a carriage and pair at her service, and a smart little page-boy to leap off the box in attendance on her when she paid visits or went shopping.
