Mr.Grey was a thoroughly respectable man, and Mr.Scarborough, though upright and honorable in many dealings, had not been thoroughly respectable.

He had lived with his wife off and on, as people say.

Though he had saved much of his money for the purpose above described, he had also spent much of it in a manner which did not approve itself to Mr.Grey.

Mr.Grey had thoroughly disliked the eldest son, and had, in fact, been afraid of him.

The captain, in the few interviews that had been necessary between them, had attempted to domineer over the lawyer, till there had at last sprung up a quarrel, in which, to tell the truth, the father took the part of the son.
