His father told him of the wicked, rascally, shameful conduct of the bankrupt, reminded him of what he had said about Amelia, and that their connection was broken off for ever; and gave him that evening a good sum of money to pay for the new clothes and epaulets in which he looked so well.
Money was always useful to this free- handed young fellow, and he took it without many words.
The bills were up in the Sedley house, where he had passed so many, many happy hours.
He could see them as he walked from home that night (to the Old Slaughters', where he put up when in town) shining white in the moon.
That comfortable home was shut, then, upon Amelia and her parents: where had they taken refuge? The thought of their ruin affected him not a little.
He was very melancholy that night in the coffee-room at the Slaughters'; and drank a good deal, as his comrades remarked there.
