Oh, yes, you do: you don't know it; but you do. It's no use, Miss Clandon: you can't put me down. I tell you your name will soon be neither Clandon nor Crampton; and I could tell you what it will be if I chose. Mr. Crampton: your notion of going to law is all nonsense: your children will be of age before you could get the point decided. You can do nothing but make a friendly arrangement. If you want your family more than they want you, you'll get the worse of the arrangement: if they want you more than you want them, you'll get the better of it.
