"If from a worthy motive we sacrifice our inclinations for the good of others, we are always sure of finding our reward--indeed, the act is its own reward." Charles began to feel a little uneasy. It seemed to him as though Captain Sedley never looked so sharply at him before. What could he mean? He had given all his money to the widow Weston as well as Frank, but Captain Sedley's looks seemed to reprove rather than commend him.
