Samuel Dockwrath to his wife, as he stood up before his parlour-fire after breakfast, and the woman to whom he referred was Lady Mason. Mr. Samuel Dockwrath was very angry as he so spoke, or at any rate he seemed to be so. There are men who take a delight in abusing those special friends whom their wives best love, and Mr. Dockwrath was one of these.
Had he in truth wished to keep his proceedings secret from Lady Mason he would not have divulged them to his wife. And then Mr. Dockwrath did start for the north, bearing certain documents with him; and soon after his departure Mrs. Dockwrath did pay a visit to Orley Farm. Lady Mason sat there perfectly still for about an hour thinking what she would do.
He himself, as he told her in confidence, was in the profession of the law; he had heard of Mr. Dockwrath, and should be very glad if that gentleman would come over and take a glass of brandy and water with him some evening. "And a very clever sharp gentleman he is," said Mrs. Trump. "With a tolerably good business, I suppose?" asked Crabwitz. "Pretty fair for that, sir.
Mason utterly ignored such contract, and contended that the words contained in a certain note produced by Dockwrath amounted only to a proposition to let him the land in the event of certain circumstances and results which circumstances and results never took place. This lawsuit Mr. Joseph Mason did win, and Mr. Samuel Dockwrath was, as I have said, ruined.
Twenty years!" and his face as he spoke became almost black with horror. "It is very shocking," said Mr. Dockwrath; "very shocking. What on earth will be her fate if it be proved against her? She has brought it on herself; that is all that one can say of her." "D her! d her!" exclaimed the other, gnashing his teeth with concentrated wrath. "No punishment will be bad enough for her.
The man Kenneby I have not yet seen; but from what I understand he is less likely to prove a willing witness than Mrs. Bolster." "I cannot go along with you there, Mr. Round," said Dockwrath. "Excuse me, sir, but I am only stating my opinion.
Dockwrath, I should not leave her in doubt as to what I was doing in my own profession." "I know nothing about it, Mr. Cooke;" for it was as Mr. Cooke that he now sojourned at Hamworth. Not that it should be supposed he had received instructions from Mr. Furnival to come down to that place under a false name. From Mr.
Kenneby said that he should go back by the 3 P.M. train, but he declined, with considerable hesitation, the beefsteak and brandy and water. After what had passed between him and Miriam he could not go to the Blue Posts with her husband. "Nonsense, man," said Dockwrath. "You must dine somewhere." But Kenneby said that he should dine in London. He always preferred dining late.
Dockwrath the attorney became so irrationally angry at the period of which we are now immediately about to treat. These fields lie on the steep slope of Hamworth Hill, and through them runs the public path from the hamlet of Roxeth up to Hamworth church; for, as all the world knows, Hamworth church stands high, and is a landmark to the world for miles and miles around.
Dockwrath when that gentleman called. Mr. Dockwrath when at home had again cautioned his wife to have no intercourse whatever "with that swindler at Orley Farm," wishing thereby the more thoroughly to imbue poor Miriam with a conviction that Lady Mason had committed some fraud with reference to the will. "You had better say nothing about the matter anywhere; d'you hear?
