"I'll write and inquire what his grounds are for thinking he is in England; and then trace him out if he is to be traced. You give me carte-blanche to act?" "You know I do, Carr." "All right." "And when you have traced him what then?" "That's an after-question, and I must be guided by circumstances. And now I'll wish you good-night," continued the barrister, rising.
Then, if Hughie is clever and gets a scholarship, he can go to one of the 'Varsities, and afterward he must study for the Bar. You see, I have read up all about it, and I know. You must help me to do it, mother. I dare say he will make a very clever barrister, for he looks quite disagreeable enough to be so." Lady Jane struggled against Irene's whim.
The barrister suspected in fact, he was almost sure that the gems now flaunting their half-revealed glories in the light of the day for not one of them had undergone the final process peculiar to the diamond-cutter's trade were not the real stones stolen from Albert Gate, but well fabricated substitutes. To his acute brain there came an immediate confirmation of his theory.
To my surprise he told me he would like it for himself but with alterations. "The whole thing wants lifting up," was his opinion. "Your hero is a barrister: my public take no interest in plain barristers. Make him the Solicitor General." "But he's got to be amusing," I argued. "A Solicitor General is never amusing."

So I had to find a substitute, and my choice fell on a rising young barrister named Arthur Lester, whom I had known since he was a boy who had married the daughter of an old friend.
Carr had visited his friend at his new inheritance; indeed the first time he had been at all at Hartledon. Lord Hartledon seated himself on the gate; the barrister leaned his arms on the top bar whilst he talked to him. "What is the matter?" asked the latter. "Not much." "I have finished my letters, so I came out to look for you. You are not changed, Elster."
"If Sir Alan were shot instead of stabbed," went on the barrister, "the first thing you would endeavour to determine would be the calibre and nature of the bullet. Why not be equally particular about the knife?" "But this weapon has been for fifty years in Glen Tochan. Its history is thoroughly established." "Is it? Who made it? Whose crest does it bear? What does this motto signify?
And because indentures and deeds and covenants are sealed, these passages must be accepted as part of the evidence that Shakespeare narrowly escaped being made Lord High Chancellor of England! It requires all the learning and the logic of a Lord Chief Justice and a London barrister to establish a connection between such premises and such a conclusion.
