Of course it is. (Crestfallen.) But I see I was just the same nice old lazy Coady as before; and I had thought that if I had a second chance, I could do things. I have often said to you, Coady, that it was owing to my being cursed with a competency that I didn't write my great book. But I had no competency this time, and I haven't written a word. PURDIE (bitterly enough). That needn't make you feel lonely in this house. (MRS: COADE. You seem to have been quite happy as an old bachelor, dear.) I am surprised at myself, Emma, but I fear I was.
