"I believe him to be utterly an adventurer,--a man without means and without principle,--upon the whole about as bad a man as you may meet. I give you my word, Grey, that I don't think I know a worse man. He's going to marry her for her money; then he will beggar her, after that he'll ill-treat her, and yet what can I do?"
"Prevent the marriage."
