Bideawhile could make him come back, if he chose to do his duty." "But they say that Mr. Trevelyan is in Italy, my dear." "And if I went to Italy, might I leave you to starve, and take my income with me?" "He doesn't leave her quite to starve, my dear." "But isn't a man bound to stay with his wife? I never heard of such a thing, never. And I'm sure that there must be something wrong.
'If you will condescend to listen we may perhaps arrive at the truth. 'But somebody has said that I did. I've been told that Mr Bideawhile says so. 'No, Mr Longestaffe; no. We have never said so. We have only said that we had no reason for supposing the letter to be other than genuine. We have never gone beyond that. 'Nothing on earth would have made me sign it, said Dolly.
Mr Longestaffe, the father, had heard nothing of the matter till the Saturday after his last interview with Melmotte in the City. He had then called at Bideawhile's office in Lincoln's Inn Fields, and had been shown the letter. He declared at once that he had never sent the letter to Mr Bideawhile. He had begged his son to sign the letter and his son had refused.
There was a pause, during which Mr Bideawhile moved away from the table, as he might have done had he been picking a lock; and then Mr Longestaffe bade the stranger come in with a sepulchral voice. The door was opened, and Mr Melmotte appeared. Now Mr Melmotte's presence certainly had not been expected. It was known that it was his habit to be in the City at this hour.
Bideawhile's honest; but you've got to fight him deuced close to prevent his getting the better of you. Melmotte has promised to pay the money on Friday, has he?

But surely, in Lady Mason's case, assistance of such a description would hardly be needed. Would it not be better to consult Messrs. Slow and Bideawhile? And then it turned out that Messrs.
'Gentlemen, he said, 'perhaps you think that I am intruding at the present moment. No one said that he did not think so. The elder Longestaffe simply bowed very coldly. Mr Bideawhile stood upright and thrust his thumbs into his waistcoat pockets. Dolly, who at first forgot to take his hat off, whistled a bar, and then turned a pirouette on his heel.
'Perhaps not, Mr Squercum. We are not generally on the look out for forgeries in letters from our clients or our clients' sons. 'Just so, Mr Bideawhile. But then Mr Longestaffe had already told you that his son would not sign the letter. 'How is one to know when and how and why a young man like that will change his purpose? 'Just so, Mr Bideawhile.
