Dockwrath, finding it impossible to make use of her company sitting-room, took her old lover into the family apartment which they all ordinarily occupied. "You can sit down there at any rate without it all crunching under you, up to nothing." And she emptied for him as she spoke the seat of an old well-worn horse-hair bottomed arm-chair.
"And then Dockwrath would want compensation." "Dockwrath is an impertinent rascal, and I shall take an opportunity of telling him so. But as I was saying, I will throw those seventy acres together, and then I will try what will be the relative effects of guano and the patent blood, But I must have real guano, and so I shall go to Liverpool." "I think I would wait a little, Lucius.
No intrusion, I hope, Mr. Moulder." "All right," said Moulder; "make yourself at home. There's the stuff on the table. You know what the tap is." "I've just parted from Mr. Dockwrath," said Kantwise, speaking in a tone of voice which implied the great importance of the communication, and looking round the table to see the effect of it upon the circle.
I don't want to insult no one; but as chairman here at this conwivial meeting, I asks that gentleman who says he is a solicitor whether he means to pay his dinner bill according to the rules of the room, or whether he don't?" "I've paid for what I've had already," said Dockwrath, "and I don't mean to pay for what I've not had."
So they sat through the long evening, speechless; each seated with the pretence of reading, but neither of them capable of the attention which a book requires. He did not tell her then that he had been with Mr. Dockwrath, but she knew by his manner that he had taken some terrible step.
Just at this moment there came a light tap at the study door, and before the master of the house could give or withhold permission the mistress of the house entered the room. "My dear," she said, "I didn't know that you were engaged." "Yes, I am engaged," said the gentleman. "Oh, I'm sure I beg pardon. Perhaps this is the gentleman from Hamworth?" "Yes, ma'am," said Mr. Dockwrath.
"Then I did not know what to think. I suppose it's all right; but one never can understand what those lawyers are at. When Mr. Chaffanbrass got up to examine Dockwrath, he seemed to be just as confident on his side as the other fellow had been on the other side. I don't think I'll have any more wine, sir, thank you." But Sir Peregrine did not move.
It was but for a moment, and then he looked up again, turning his eyes slowly round the entire court, and as he did so grasping his mother by the arm. "He'll look in a different sort of fashion by to-morrow evening, I guess," said Dockwrath into his neighbour's ear. During all this time no change came over Lady Mason's face.
When the two ladies appeared in court together without Lucius Mason there was much question among the crowd as to the cause of his absence. Both Dockwrath and Joseph Mason looked at it in the right light, and accepted it as a ground for renewed hope. "He dare not face the verdict," said Dockwrath. And yet when they had left the court on the preceding evening, after listening to Mr.
You was never sharp, but you're as smirk and smooth as though you came out of a band-box. I am glad to see you, John, so I am." And she put her apron up to her eyes and wiped away a tear. "Is Mr. Dockwrath at home?" said John. "Sam, run round and see if your father's in the office. He'll be home to dinner, I know. Molly, do be quiet with your sister.
