But from Cousin George during the last twelve months he had made no profit at all. And Cousin George in former days had trodden upon him as on a worm. Cousin George did not fail to perceive that Mr. Boltby had not as yet applied to Captain Stubber. Five hundred pounds before Saturday, and this was Tuesday!
"I cannot do that," said Cousin George, hoarsely. "Then I shall leave you with your creditors to deal with as they please. I have nothing further to suggest myself, and I would recommend that you should see Mr. Boltby before you leave the chambers." "What does my cousin say?" he asked. "Were you at Goodwood last meeting?" asked Sir Harry. "But of course you were." "I was," he answered.
Boltby saw that his client was doubting, and having given much trouble to the matter, and not being afraid of Sir Harry, he determined to speak his mind freely. "Sir Harry," he said, "in this matter I must tell you what I really think." "Certainly."
"Oh, of course; what she likes " "I will pay your debts; on condition that Mr. Boltby is satisfied that he has the entire list of them." George, as he heard this, at once determined that he must persuade Mr. Hart to include Mr. Walker's little account in that due to himself.
Things went on thus at Humblethwaite for three weeks, and Sir Harry began to feel that he could endure it no longer. He had expected to have heard again from Mr. Boltby, but no letter had come. Mr. Boltby had suggested to him something of starving out the town, and he had expected to be informed before this whether the town were starved out or not.

"But I have been so tried these last two months. If you only knew what Mr. Boltby and Captain Stubber and Sir Harry and Mr.
Boltby at once all the necessary information by letter. Then Sir Harry went on to say that perhaps the opinions formed in reference to Captain Hotspur had been too severe. He was ashamed of himself as he wrote these words, but still they were written.
And this point of greatness must be conceded to him, that, however black might loom the clouds of the coming sky, he could enjoy the sunshine of the hour. In the meantime Mr. Boltby was at work, and before Cousin George had shot his last pheasant in such very good company, Sir Harry was up in town assisting Mr. Boltby.
Let any calls for money reach them there. Whatever the calls might be, he at any rate could pay them. Cousin George repeated his suggestion; but acquiesced when Sir Harry frowned and showed his displeasure. He did make out a schedule, and did write a letter to Mr. Boltby. "I think my debt to Mr.
It would have been better that Sir Harry should have remained in London till he could have returned with George's autograph letter in his pocket. "You must have the letter in his own handwriting," Mr. Boltby had said, cunningly, "only you must return it to me."
