Good night, Professor; to-morrow let us go to Pierside and see if we cannot get at the truth." "And to-morrow," cried Random, "I shall send the check, sir." When the company departed, Lucy had another wrangle with her father about the check.

As Archie had gone away, she could speak freely, and pointed out that he was enjoying her mother's income and was about to marry Mrs.Jasher, who was rich.
"Therefore," argued Lucy, "you certainly do not want to keep poor Archie's money." "He paid me that sum on condition that I consented to the wedding." "He did nothing of the sort," she cried indignantly.

"I am not going to be bought and sold in this manner.

Archie lent you the money, and it must be returned.

Don't force me to think you selfish, father." The upshot of the argument was that Lucy got her own way, and the Professor rather unwillingly agreed to part with the mummy and restore the thousand pounds.
