The room was\u003cbr\u003ealmost empty, and as they occupied arm-chairs in one corner of it, they\u003cbr\u003ewere able to talk freely without fear of being overheard. One of them was\u003cbr\u003ea man of sixty, the other some five or six and twenty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I must do something,\" the younger man said, \"for I have been kicking my\u003cbr\u003eheels about London since my ship was paid off two years ago. At first, of\u003cbr\u003ecourse, it didn't matter, for I have enough to live upon; but recently I\u003cbr\u003ehave been fool enough to fall in love with a girl whose parents would\u003cbr\u003enever dream of allowing her to marry a half-pay lieutenant of the navy\u003cbr\u003ewith no chance in the world of getting employed again, for I have no\u003cbr\u003einterest whatever.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It is an awkward case certainly, Prendergast,\" the other said; \"and upon\u003cbr\u003emy word, though I sympathize with you, I cannot blame Fortescue. He is not\u003cbr\u003ewhat you might call a genial man, but there is no doubt that he was a\u003cbr\u003esplendid lawyer and a wonderful worker. For ten years he earned more than\u003cbr\u003eany man at the bar. I know that he was twice offered the solicitor-\u003cbr\u003egeneralship, but as he was making two or three times the official salary,\u003cbr\u003ehe would not take it. I believe he would have gone on working till now had\u003cbr\u003ehe not suddenly come in for a very fine estate, owing to the death, in the\u003cbr\u003ecourse of two or three years, of four men who stood between him and it.\u003cbr\u003eBesides, I fancy he got hints that in the general opinion of the bar he\u003cbr\u003ehad had a wonderfully good innings, and it was about time that younger men\u003cbr\u003ehad a share in it. What his savings were I do not know, but they must be\u003cbr\u003every large. His three sons are all at the bar, and are rising men, so\u003cbr\u003ethere was no occasion for him to go on piling up money for them. But, as I\u003cbr\u003esay, he has always had the reputation of being a hard man, and it is\u003cbr\u003epractically certain that he would never allow his daughter to marry a man\u003cbr\u003ewhom he would regard as next door to a pauper. Now, what are you thinking\u003cbr\u003eof doing?\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121024483568,"sku":"2940013213616","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013213616_p0.jpg?v=1763578359","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013213616","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
