maxims of delicacy will not the dire calls of necessity infringe! Reduced to the alternative of applying once more to that beneficence which had never failed him or of seeing Monimia starve he chose the first as of two evils the least and intrusted Fathom with a letter explaining the bitterness of his case,toms men. It was not without trepidation that he received in the evening from his messenger an answer to this billet; but what were his pangs when he learned the contents,toms pure wine outlet! The gentleman after having professed himself Melvil s sincere well-wisher gave him to understand that he was resolved for the future to detach himself from every correspondence which would be inconvenient for him to maintain; that he considered his intimacy with the Count in that light; yet nevertheless if his distress was really as great as he had described it he would still contribute something towards his relief; and accordingly had sent by the bearer five guineas for that purpose; but desired him to take notice that in so doing he laid himself under some difficulty.Renaldo s grief and mortification at this disappointment were unspeakable. He now saw demolished the last screen betwixt him and the extremity of indigence and woe; he beheld the mistress of his soul abandoned to the bleakest scenes of poverty and want; and he deeply resented the lofty strain of the letter by which he conceived himself treated as a worthless spendthrift and importunate beggar. Though his purse was exhausted to the last shilling; though he was surrounded with necessities and demands and knew not how to provide another meal for his fair dependent he in opposition to all the suggestions and eloquence of Fathom despatched him with the money and another billet intimating in the most respectful terms that he approved of his friend s new-adopted maxim which for the future he should always take care to remember; and that he had sent back the last instance of his bounty as a proof how little he was disposed to incommode his benefactor.This letter though sincerely meant and written in a very serious mood the gentleman considered as an ungrateful piece of irony and in that opinion complained to several persons of the Count s acquaintance who unanimously exclaimed against him as a sordid unthankful and profligate knave that abused and reviled those very people who had generously befriended him whenever they found it inconvenient to nourish his extravagance with further supplies,gray black stripe toms shoes. Notwithstanding these accumulated oppressions he still persevered with fortitude in his endeavours to disentangle himself from this maze of misery. To these he was encouraged by a letter which about this time he received from his sister importing that she had good reason to believe the real will of her father had been suppressed for certain sinister views; and desiring him to hasten his departure for Hungary where he would still find some friends who were both able and willing to support his cause. He had some trinkets left; the pawnbroker s shop was still open; and hitherto he made shift to conceal from MonimiRelated articles:
