Dockwrath with his wicked ingenuity had discovered no more than the truth, will, in its open revelation, have caused no surprise to the reader; but it did cause terrible surprise to Sir Peregrine Orme. And now we must go back a little and endeavour to explain how it was that Lady Mason had made this avowal of her guilt.
It had been all very well for Chaffanbrass to bully Dockwrath and make the wretched attorney miserable for an hour or so, but that would have but little bearing on the verdict. There were two persons there who were prepared to swear that on a certain day they had only signed one deed. So much the solicitor-general had told them, and nobody doubted that it would be so.
He hated Lady Mason with all his power of hatred, and if there did, even yet, exist for him a chance of upsetting her claims and ruining her before the world, he was not the man to forego that chance. "Well, sir, you shall see it," said Mr. Dockwrath; "or rather hear it, for there is not much to see." And so saying he extracted from his pocket-book a very small bit of paper.
"What you have to look for now is the recovery of the property." But here Mr. Furnival showed that he had not made himself master of Joseph Mason's character. "No," shouted the angry man; "no, by heaven. What I have first to look to is her punishment, and that of those who have assisted her. I knew she had done it, and Dockwrath knew it. Had I trusted him, she would now have been in gaol." Mr.
On the dish before the master of the house, a large dish which must I fancy have been selected by the cook with some similar attempt at sarcasm, there reposed three scraps, as to the nature of which Mr. Dockwrath, though he looked hard at them, was unable to enlighten himself. But Mr. Mason knew them well, as he now placed his eyes on them for the third time.
She then explained that Lady Mason was not at home and had not been at home for some weeks; that she was staying with her friends at The Cleeve, and that in order to get there Mrs. Furnival must go back through Hamworth and round by the high road. "I knows the way well enough, Mrs. Dockwrath," said the driver. "I've been at The Cleeve before now, I guess." So Mrs.
"I neither deny nor allow your claim, Mr. Dockwrath," said he. "But I shall pay nothing except through my regular lawyers. You can send your account to me if you please, but I shall send it on to Mr. Round without looking at it." "Oh, that's to be the way, is it? That's your gratitude. Very well, Mr. Mason; I shall now know what to do. And I think you'll find " Here Mr.
Sitting there thus, with her hand in his, with her hand in his during the first portion of the tale, she told him all that she wished to tell. Something more she told now to him than she had done to Sir Peregrine. "I learned from her," she said, speaking about Mrs. Dockwrath and her husband, "that he had found out something about dates which the lawyers did not find out before."
It will give me the sincerest pleasure." And Mr. Kantwise proposed to leave the room in order that he might introduce the three boxes in question. "They would not be at all in my way," said Mr. Dockwrath. "The trouble would be nothing," said Mr. Kantwise, "and it gives me the greatest pleasure to make them known when I find any one who can appreciate such undoubted luxuries;" and so saying Mr.
Mason's face now became very black. "Why," said he, "if what you seem to allege be true, she must be a a a . What do you mean, sir, by pity?" Mr. Dockwrath shrugged his shoulders. "It is very blue," said he, "uncommon blue." "She must be a swindler; a common swindler. Nay, worse than that." "Oh, yes, a deal worse than that, Mr. Mason.
