Mr. Vholes and Richard
Richard, his face flushing suddenly, strikes the desk with his
clenched hand. "Mr. Vholes! If any man had told me when I first went to John Jarndyce's
house that he was anything but the disinterested friend he seemed — that he was what he
has gradually turned out to be — I could have found no words strong enough to repel the
slander." (557)
