Excerpt from Sayings and Doings, Vol. 3 of 3: Or Sketches From Life Little did he, poor fellow, know why the match between them was made up so hast lv s it was, or what were the inducements held out to Fuggleston to conclude the bargain so readily, for such it was: he had heard a high character of her from Kekewich, when he was getting money by their exertions, and he believed it for his mind was attuned to that strain; and when Kekewich afterwards told him that Fuggleston had married her upon payment of a certain sum of money from some lordling's father, who had bidden fair to perpetuate his illustrious line by her gentle means, Skinner, who had as just an idea of theatrical affections as he had of his trionic friendships, scouted the whole history as a calumny, the bitter fruit of disappointed hopes and professional irritation.
