I understand you to be now consulting me professionally as to your interests? You are so? I reply, then, they are not identical with those of Mr. Jarndyce."

"Mr. C.," returns Vholes, never winking his hungry eyes, "I should be wanting in my duty as your adviser, if I said your interests are identical with the interests of Mr. Jarndyce. They are no such thing, sir."
