Has a Tragical1 Ending
Clive presently answered the question which his father put to him in the last chapter, by producing from the ledge2 of his easel a crumpled3 paper, full of Cavendish now, but on which was written Sir Barnes Newcome’s reply to his cousin’s polite invitation. Sir Barnes Newcome wrote, “that he thought a reference to a friend was quite unnecessary, in the most disagreeable and painful dispute in which Mr. Clive desired to interfere4 as a principal; that the reasons which prevented Sir Barnes from taking notice of Colonel Newcome’s shameful5 and ungentlemanlike conduct applied6 equally, as Mr. Clive Newcome very well knew, to himself; that if further insult was offered, or outrage7 attempted, Sir Barnes should resort to the police for protection; that he was about to quit London, and certainly should not delay his departure on account of Mr. Clive Newcome’s monstrous8 proceedings9; and that he desired to take leave of an odious10 subject, as of an individual whom he had striven to treat with kindness, but from whom, from youth upwards11, Sir Barnes Newcome had received nothing but insolence12, enmity, and ill-will.”
“He is an ill man to offend,” remarked Mr. Pendennis. “I don’t think he has ever forgiven that claret, Clive.”
