"But you're cross because I've kept you in town a little too long. Come, Crabwitz, you must forget all that. You have worked very hard this year past. Here is a cheque for fifty pounds. Get out of town for a fortnight or so, and amuse yourself." "I'm sure I'm very much obliged, sir," said Crabwitz, putting out his hand and taking the cheque.
It was not that he dreaded the idea of thinking her guilty himself; perhaps he did so think her now he half thought her so, at any rate; but he greatly dreaded the idea of others thinking so. It might be well to buy up Dockwrath, if it were possible. If it were possible! But then it was not possible that he himself could have a hand in such a matter. Could Crabwitz do it? No; he thought not.
Dockwrath sat thinking for a minute or two, and every moment of thought made him feel more strongly that he could not now succeed in the manner pointed out by Mr. Cooke. "But where would be the market you are talking of?" said he. "I could manage that," said Crabwitz. "And go shares in the business?" "No, no; nothing of the sort."
He there occupied three rooms, all of them sufficiently spacious for the purposes required, but which were made oppressive by their general dinginess and by a smell of old leather which pervaded them. In one of them sat at his desk Mr. Crabwitz, a gentleman who had now been with Mr.
Though alone for two hours he was not idle, and exactly at twelve Mr. Crabwitz opened his door and announced Lady Mason. When we last parted with her after her interview with Sir Peregrine Orme, she had resolved not to communicate with her friend the lawyer, at any rate not to do so immediately.

Mr. Crabwitz had all the will in the world to stop her progress, but he found that he lacked the power to stay it for a moment.
Furnival, very sorry after fifteen years, sir ." "You find yourself too grand to walk to Bedford Row!" "Oh, no. I'll go now, of course, Mr. Furnival." And then Mr. Crabwitz did go, meditating as he went many things to himself. He knew his own value, or thought that he knew it; and might it not be possible to find some patron who would appreciate his services more justly than did Mr. Furnival?
And even then I don't know whether he'd let her off. By heavens! he couldn't let her off unless I chose." And then by degrees he told Mr. Cooke some of the circumstances of the case. But it was not till the fourth evening that Mr. Dockwrath spent with his lodger that the intimacy had so far progressed as to enable Mr. Crabwitz to proceed with his little scheme. On that day Mr.
"I hardly know what they'll think, but I know it will be very disagreeable, sir; very disagreeable to my feelings. I did think, sir, that perhaps " "I'll tell you what it is, Crabwitz, if your situation here does not suit you, you may leave it to-morrow. I shall have no difficulty in finding another man to take your place." "I am sorry to hear you speak in that way, Mr.
And then he added, remembering that he must show that he had some personal object, "If I got a trifle in the matter it would not come out of your allowance." The attorney again sat silent for a while, and now he remained so for full five minutes, during which Mr. Crabwitz puffed the smoke from between his lips with a look of supreme satisfaction.
