As good a lawyer, I believe, as we have in this part of the State. You do not mind meeting him?" "Er will he see me, Mr. Day?" "I will telephone to him at once. I assure you he will give you a hearing and thank you. Good day, Mr. Schrimpe." Although daddy could not leave his chair, Janice saw that he had a way of getting rid of visitors promptly when he wanted them to go. Mr.

And the lawyer felt a moment of sharp impatience, as business men are so often apt to feel in their dealings with women, when, in answer to his remark that Mere Bideau would be brought to her knees when she found her supplies cut off, Nancy, with tears running down her cheeks, cried out in protest: "Oh, Mr. Stephens, don't say that!

To the look of provocation and defiance which she flung him for the fraction of a second he returned a curiously leonine glare which went over her like a dash of cold water. It was not a hard look, however, merely urgent and full of meaning. She was the vagrom-minded wife of a prosperous lawyer who was absorbed in his business and in himself.

"Ah, yes, they're all ready," interrupted the lawyer, advancing to the table. "Tell your uncle that I shall be glad to hear from him again in reference to the subject of those papers; and take care of them they are of value. Good-morning!"

His ordinances are his post house, his ministers are his carriers, where tidings from heaven are to be had, and where those that are sued in that court by the devil may, at one time or another, hear from their lawyer, their advocate, how things are like to go.

Perhaps £750 or £800 may see you clear of the whole affair." "But I have not a quarter of that sum lying by me."
