The question is broadly , what effect will be produced by suddenly throwing eight or ten millions of English money into an American enterprise ? '' `` When Englishmen are not making money , they are a particularly disagreeable set of people to deal with , '' remarked Y , who would have been taken for an Englishman himself in any part of the world . And so the council left John Harrington , and turned to other matters which do not in any way concern this tale . John received the dispatch at half-past ten o'clock in the morning after the dinner at Mrs. Wyndham 's , and he read it without comprehending precisely the position taken by his instructor . Nevertheless , the order coincided with what he would have done if left to himself .

Harrington was left to suppose that , if he failed to get the votes of Patrick Ballymolloy and his party , the election would be a dead loss .
