"
During those three days / kept up
brisk fire of kilograms with old Blenk-
insopp in Chancery Lane; and at the
end of them | came mournfully to the
conclusion that | must either give up
Ruby or give up the twelve hundred a
year. If had been hero of romance
l should have had no difficulty at all in
deciding the matter; | should have
nobly refused the money off-hand,
counting it as mere dross compared
with the loving heart of beautiful
maiden. But unfortunately am not
hero of romance; ] am only an ordinary
graduate of an English University.
UndeS these circumstances, it did seem
to me very hard thatI must throw away
twelve hundred a vearfor mere senti-
mental fancy. And yet on the other
hand, not only did hate the name my
self, but | couldn't bear to impose it on
Ruby; and as to telling Ruby that |
wouldn't have her, because l preferred
the money, that was clearly quite
impossible. The more | looked the
thing in the face, the more certain it
appeared that | must relinquish my
dream of wealth and 90 back with
