Context of the Illustration: Haredale and Chester reach a Temporary Understanding
"I was about to say, Heaven knows how seriously and earnestly, that you have made me wretched, sir. Will you hear me gravely for a moment?"
"My dear Ned," said his father, "I will hear you with the patience of an anchorite. Oblige me with the milk."
"I saw Miss Haredale last night," Edward resumed, when he had complied with this request; "her uncle, in her presence, immediately after your interview, and, as of course I know, in consequence of it, forbade me the house, and, with circumstances of indignity which are of your creation I am sure, commanded me to leave it on the instant."
"For his manner of doing so, I give you my honour, Ned, I am not accountable," said his father. "That you must excuse. He is a mere boor, a log, a brute, with no address in life. — Positively a fly in the jug. The first I have seen this year."
Edward rose, and paced the room. His imperturbable parent sipped his tea. [Chapter XV, 60]
