They also seemed to be fully impressed with a sense of Lady Mason's innocence in the teeth of the evidence which was given against her. This was the general feeling on the minds of all people, except of those who knew most about her.

Mat Round had succeeded in getting the deposition of Bridget Bolster, but he had got that of John Kenneby. "And now," said Dockwrath, "I'll tell you what we'll do; we'll go to the Blue Posts you remember the Blue Posts? and I'll stand a beef steak and a glass of brandy and water. I suppose you'll go back to London by the 3 P.M. train. We shall have lots of time."
"We wish to see you in private, Mr. Dockwrath, for a few minutes if it be convenient." "Is not this private enough?" said Dockwrath. "There is no one here but my confidential clerk."

"This is ham," said she with a little simper, "broiled ham, Mr. Dockwrath; and there is chicken at the other end; I think they call it devilled." "Shall I assist the young ladies to anything first?" said the attorney, wishing to be polite. "Nothing, thank you," said Miss Penelope, with a very stiff bow.

They say that Sir Peregrine is going to make her his lady. If he does that it stands to reason that Dockwrath and Joseph Mason will get the worst of it.
Dockwrath remained at home in the bosom of his family, saying all manner of spiteful things against Lady Mason, and on the next day he went up to town and called on Round and Crook.

"I suppose it will cost me hundreds of pounds," he said to Dockwrath that evening. "Orley Farm will pay for it all," Dockwrath had answered; but his answer had shown no confidence. And, if we think well of it, Joseph Mason was deserving of pity. He wanted only what was his own; and that Orley Farm ought to be his own he had no smallest doubt. Mr.
"It looks uncommon like it," said Snengkeld. "When a gentleman," said Gape, "who does not belong to a society " "It's no good having more talk," said Moulder, "and we'll soon bring this to an end. Mr. ; I haven't the honour of knowing the gentleman's name." "My name is Dockwrath, and I am a solicitor." "Oh, a solicitor; are you? and you said last night you was commercial!
