Excerpt from Marion Fay, Vol. 2 of 2: A Novel Mr, Greenwood was still anxious as to the health of the Rector of Appleslocombe. There might be even yet a hope for him; but his chance, he thought, would be better with the present Marquis - ill-disposed towards him as the Marquis was - than with the heir. The Marquis was weary of him, and anxious to get rid of him, - was acting very meanly to him, as Mr. Greenwood thought, having offered him £l000 as a final payment for a whole life's attention. The Marquis, who had ever been a liberal man, had now, perhaps on his death-bed, become unjust, harsh, and cruel. But he was weak and forgetful, and might possibly be willing to save his money and get rid of the nuisance of the whole affair by surrendering the living. This was Mr. Greenwood's reading of the circumstances as they at present existed. But the Marquis could not dispose of the living while the Rector was still alive; nor could he even promise it, to any good effect, without his son's assent.
