Furnival's room, that the clerk had been hardly able to reach it before her. "Mrs. Furnival, if you please, sir," said Mr. Crabwitz. Unfortunately for Mr. Furnival, the intruder was Mrs. Furnival whether he pleased or whether he did not please. There she was in his law chamber, present in the flesh, a sight pleasing neither to her husband nor to her husband's client.
It certainly would so please him, he said to himself when he got that letter; and in the evening he mentioned to his new friend the business which was taking him to London. "If I might advise you in the matter, Mr. Dockwrath," said Crabwitz, "I should stay away altogether." "And why so?" "Because that's not your market. This poor devil of a woman for she is a poor devil of a woman "
He knew that he himself was invaluable, but then he was invaluable only to Mr. Furnival. Mr. Furnival would be mad to part with him, Mr. Crabwitz thought; but then would he not be almost more mad to part with Mr. Furnival? "Eh; well?" said Mr. Furnival. "Oh! of course; if you desire it, Mr. Furnival, I will remain. But I must say I think it is rather hard." "Look here, Mr.
I've no doubt you did the best for us you could down at Hamworth, and I'm much obliged to you. You'll find we've got our hands quite full again, almost too full." Then he turned round to his table, and to the papers upon it; whereupon, Crabwitz took the hint, and left the room. But when he had gone, Mr.
But Lady Mason is so averse to legal proceedings that it would be worth her while to have matters settled. You understand?" "Yes, sir; I understand. Would not an attorney be the best person, sir?" "Not just at present, Crabwitz. Lady Mason is a very dear friend of mine " "Yes, sir; we know that," said Crabwitz.
Good morning. If Mr. Mason wishes to see you, he will write, of course. Good day, Mr. Dockwrath." And so Mr. Dockwrath went home, not quite contented with his day's work. It will be remembered that Mr. Crabwitz was sent across from Lincoln's Inn to Bedford Row to ascertain the present address of old Mr. Round. "Mr. Round is at Birmingham," he said, coming back.
"Well, sir, I can't say that he knows much of the man; but Dockwrath has been at their place of business pretty constant of late, and he and Mr. Matthew seem thick enough together." "Oh! they do; do they?" "So Smart tells me. I don't know how it is myself, sir. I don't suppose this Dockwrath is a very " "No, no; exactly. I dare say not. You've never seen him yourself, Crabwitz?" "Who, sir? I, sir?
It was two days after this that Lucius was allowed the honour of a conference by appointment with the great lawyer; and at the expiration of an hour's delay he was shown into the room by Mr. Crabwitz. "And, Crabwitz," said the barrister, before he addressed himself to his young friend, "just run your eye over those papers, and let Mr. Bideawhile have them to-morrow morning; and, Crabwitz ."
And then, at this moment, he was not certain that he could depend on Crabwitz. And why should he trouble himself in this way? Mr. Furnival was a man loyal to his friends at heart. Had Lady Mason been a man, and had he pulled that man through great difficulties in early life, he would have been loyally desirous of carrying him through the same or similar difficulties at any after period.
Crabwitz entered, still sulky in his demeanour, for as yet the old anger had not been appeased, and it was still a doubtful matter in the clerk's mind whether or no it might not be better for him to seek a master who would better appreciate his services. A more lucrative position it might be difficult for him to find; but money is not everything, as Crabwitz said to himself more than once.
