John Caldigate

CHAPTER IV
13/19

We shall come across something a good deal harder than second-class fare before we have made our fortunes, and worked probably with mates more uncouth than second-class passengers.' It was impossible to oppose counsel such as this, and therefore second-class tickets were taken on board the Goldfinder.
A terrible struggle was made during the last fortnight to prevent the going of John Caldigate.

Mr.Babington was so shocked that he did not cease to stir himself.

Allow a son to disinherit himself, merely because he had fallen into the hands of a money-lending Jew before he had left college! To have the whole condition of a property changed by such a simple accident! It was shocking to him; and he moved himself in the matter with much more energy than old Mr.Caldigate had expected from him.

He wrote heartrending letters to Folking, in spite of the hard words which had been said to him there.

He made a second journey to Cambridge, and endeavoured to frighten Mr.Bolton.Descent of acres from father to son was to him so holy a thing, that he was roused to unexpected energies.
