Barker got a solicitor to represent Esther in court, so that judgment might be given in presence of both parties. The collecting officer, who was begged to act with civility, took with him all the warrants for procedure, and came in person to seize the furniture in the Rue Taitbout, where he was received by Europe.
He had never known a mother's love, and his father's death was the first blow that helped to shatter his early notions of felicity. The cloud that overshadowed him at that time was very dark, and he received no sympathy worth mentioning from his only relative, the solicitor. "Well, Jeff, what d'you think of doing?" asked that austere relative, two days after the funeral.
Carson, easily; "not till we get to Hong- kong, that is." "What's the matter with him?" whispered the solicitor. The doctor, evading his eye, pulled a long face and shook his head. "It may be the cooking," he said, slowly. "I'm not a good cook, I admit. It might be something got into the food from the medicine-chest. I shouldn't be at all surprised if the mates are taken bad too."
So trudgeth this simple clerk, that can scarce read a case when it is written, with his handful of papers from one court to another, and from one counsellor's chamber to another, when by his good payment for his pains he will be so saucy as to call himself a solicitor.
If it's necessary, I can show you the receipt which I got with them from the seller. The particulars are specified in that receipt and I know that I still have it. Does my testimony satisfy you?" The chief official present glanced at the man from New Scotland Yard, and receiving a nod from him, smiled at the old solicitor. "I think we can rely on your evidence, Mr. Killick," he said.
Her position at the time of our acquaintance was not so good as mine. My father was a solicitor, as I think I have told you. She was a young girl in a music-shop; and it was represented to me that it would be beneath my position to marry her. Hence the result. 'Well, all I can say is that after twenty years it is probably too late to think of mending such a matter.
"I must apologise," he said, "for this intrusion." Miss Skinner bowed. She was tall and thin, angular and severe, a typical headmistress, stern and unyielding. "I am," Slotman lied, "a solicitor from London, and I am interested in a young lady who a matter of three years ago was, I believe, a pupil in this school." "Indeed?" "Miss Joan Meredyth," said Slotman.
If London is unsafe for your treasures, it cannot long be safe for you; and indeed, if I at all fathom the plan of your solicitor, I fear I may find you already fled on my return. I am not considered clever, and can only speak out plainly what is in my heart: that I love you, and that I cannot bear to lose all knowledge of you.
The professor, turning in his stride up and down the narrow, uncomfortable room, one of the many that lie off the Strand, finds his eyes resting on that other letter carelessly opened, barely begun. From Wynter's solicitor! It seems ridiculous that Wynter should have had a solicitor. With a sigh, he takes it up, opens it out and begins to read it.
My school-days were hardly over when my uncle and guardian, M. Brutus Mouillard, solicitor, of Bourges, packed me off to Paris to go through my law course. I took three years over it: At the end of that time, just eighteen months ago, I became a licentiate, and "in the said capacity" as my uncle would say took an oath that transformed me into a probationary barrister.
