Vholes's scrupulous way of saving ugg boots for girls himself and his respectabilitynot to feel that our worst fears did but keep pace with hisclient's progress.
     　　We sat down to dinner, and I had an opportunity of observingRichard, anxiously. I was not disturbed by Mr. Vholes (who tookoff his gloves to dine), though he sat opposite to me at the smalltable, for I doubt if, looking up at all, he once removed his eyesfrom his host's face. I found Richard thin and languid, slovenlyin his dress, abstracted in his manner, forcing his spirits now andthen, and at other discount uggs for women intervals relapsing into a dull thoughtfulness.
     　　About his large bright eyes that used to be so merry there was awanness and a restlessness that changed them altogether. 1 cannotuse the expression that he looked old. There is a ruin of youthwhich is not like age, and into such a ruin Richard's youth andyouthful beauty had all fallen away.
     　　He ate little and seemed indifferent what it was, showed himself tobe much more impatient than he used to be, and was quick even withAda. I thought discount ugg boots at first that his old light-hearted manner was allgone, but it shone out of him sometimes as I had occasionally knownlittle momentary glimpses of my own old face to look out upon mefrom the glass.

     　　Yet he was as glad as ever, in his old affectionate way, to have methere, and we talked of the old times pleasantly. These did notappear to ugg boots discount outlet be interesting to Mr. Vholes, though he occasionally madea gasp which I believe was his smile. He rose shortly after dinnerand said that with the permission of the ladies he would retire tohis office.
     　　"Always devoted to business, Vholes!" cried Richard.
     　　"Yes, Mr. C.," he returned, "the interests of clients are never tobe neglected, sir. They are paramount in the thoughts of aprofessional man like myself, who wishes to preserve a good nameamong his fellow-practitioners and society at large. My denyingmyself the pleasure of the uggs discount present agreeable conversation may notbe wholly irrespective of your own interests, Mr. C."Richard expressed himself quite sure of that and lighted Mr. Vholesout. On his return he told us, more than once, that Vholes was agood fellow, a safe fellow, a man who did what he pretended to do,a very good fellow indeed! He was so defiant about it that itstruck me he had begun to doubt Mr. Vholes.
