Bearside explained to the Senator that the poor man was a very poor man indeed, who had been so unfortunate with his land that he was hardly able to provide bread for himself and his children.
"If he thinks it ain't enough, who's to say that it is, unless a jury?" said Mrs. Masters, becoming quite eloquent. "And how's a poor man to get a jury to say that, unless he comes to a lawyer? Of course, if you won't have it, he'll go to Bearside. Bearside won't turn him away." Bearside was another attorney, an interloper of about ten years' standing, whose name was odious to Mr. Masters.
"He'll have to pay for it, and that pretty smart," said Runciman. "I never heard of such a foolish thing in all my life. What the dickens is it to him? One can understand Bearside, and Scrobby too. When a fellow has something to get, one does understand it.
Let us hope that this refusal was remembered by the young woman in the bar when she made out the Senator's bill. He stayed at Dillsborough for three or four days during which he saw Goarly once and Bearside on two or three occasions, and moreover handed to that busy attorney three bank notes for five pounds each.
Gotobed." "But I shall, sir. I understand from your letter that you look to me for funds." "Certainly I do, Mr. Gotobed; because you told me to do so." "I told you nothing of the kind, Mr. Bearside." "You paid me 15 pounds on account, Mr. Gotobed." "I paid you 15 pounds certainly." "And told me that more should be coming as it was wanted.
But as I am money out of pocket I did hope you would have paid me something on account to-day." Then Mr. Gotobed made his offer, informing Mr. Bearside that he had brought his friend, Mr. Morton, with him in order that there might be a witness. "I could see that, sir, with half an eye," said the attorney unabashed. He was willing to pay Mr.
Bearside declared over and over again that there was no evidence to connect his client with the demise of the fox. When asked whether he did not think that his client had compassed the death of the animal, he assured the Senator that in such matters, he never ventured to think. "Let us go by the evidence, Mr. Gotobed," he said. "But I am paying my money for the sake of getting at the facts."
The two men were alone at the house and the Senator was full of his own wrongs as well as those of Englishmen in general. Mr. Bearside had written to him very cautiously, but pressing for an immediate remittance of 25 pounds, and explaining that the great case could not be carried on without that sum of money.
But then having a theory of his own in his head, and being fond of ventilating his own theories, he explained thoroughly to the man the story which he wished to hear before the man was called upon to tell his story. Mr. Bearside of course told it accordingly.
Bearside was clever enough to make him believe that Goarly would certainly obtain serious damages from the lord. With Bearside he was fairly satisfied, thinking however that the man was much more illiterate and ignorant than the general run of lawyers in the United States; but with Goarly he was by no means satisfied.
