BOOK VII.: CHAPTER I.
..................
KENELM DID NOT RETURN HOME till dusk, and just as he was sitting down to his solitary meal there was a ring at the bell, and Mrs. Jones ushered in Mr. Thomas Bowles.
Though that gentleman had never written to announce the day of his arrival, he was not the less welcome.
Only,
said Kenelm, if you preserve the appetite I have lost, I fear you will find meagre fare to-day. Sit down, man.
Thank you, kindly, but I dined two hours ago in London, and I really can eat nothing more.
Kenelm was too well-bred to press unwelcome hospitalities. In a very few minutes his frugal repast was ended; the cloth removed, the two men were left alone.
Your room is here, of course, Tom; that was engaged from the day I asked you, but you ought to have given me a line to say when to expect you, so that I could have put our hostess on her mettle as to dinner or supper. You smoke still, of course: light your pipe.
Thank you, Mr. Chillingly, I seldom smoke now; but if you will excuse a cigar,
and Tom produced a very smart cigar-case.
Do as you would at home. I shall send word to Will Somers that you and I sup there to-morrow. You forgive me for letting out your secret. All straightforward now and henceforth. You come to their hearth as a friend, who will grow dearer to them both every year. Ah, Tom, this love for woman seems to me a very wonderful thing. It may sink a man into such deeps of evil, and lift a man into such heights of good.
I don’t know as to the good,
said Tom, mournfully, and laying aside his cigar.
Go on smoking: I should like to keep you company; can you spare me one of your cigars?
Tom offered his case. Kenelm extracted a cigar, lighted it, drew a few whiffs, and, when he saw that Tom had resumed his own cigar, recommenced conversation.
You don’t know as to the good; but tell me honestly, do you think if you had not loved Jessie Wiles, you would be as good a man as you are now?
If I am better than I was, it is not because of my love for the girl.
What then?
The loss of her.
