Dockwrath had come down to Yorkshire, consisted of half a sheet of note paper, and the writing upon this covered hardly the half of it. The words which Mr. Mason read were as follows: Date of codicil. 14th July 18 . Witnesses to the instrument. John Kenneby; Bridget Bolster; Jonathan Usbech. N.B. Jonathan Usbech died before the testator. Mason and Martock. Deed of separation; dated 14th July 18 .
As it was, he was prepared to go on with his duty, but he was not prepared to endure the insolence of Mr. Dockwrath. There was a look of joy also about Mr. Mason which added to his annoyance. It might be just and necessary to prosecute that unfortunate woman at Orley Farm, but he could not gloat over such work. "Mr. Dockwrath," he said, "I will not put up with such conduct here.
The case for the jury, as he said, hung altogether upon the evidence of Kenneby and the woman Bolster. As far as he could see, the evidence of Dockwrath had little to do with it; and alleged malice and greed on the part of Dockwrath could have nothing to do with it.
As to Dockwrath, that his conduct had been interested and malicious there could be no doubt; and he submitted to the jury that he had shown himself to be a man unworthy of credit. As to Kenneby, that poor weak creature, as Mr. Furnival in his mercy called him, he, Mr. Furnival, could not charge his conscience with saying that he believed him to have been guilty of any falsehood.
Dockwrath as she passed out of the room. There was again a silence between the host and his guest for some two or three minutes, during which Mr. Mason was endeavouring to get the lunch out of his head, and to redirect his whole mind to Lady Mason and his hopes of vengeance.
His voice also was low and soft; so low that it was hardly heard through the whole court, and persons who had come far to listen to him began to feel themselves disappointed. And it was pretty also to see how Dockwrath armed himself for the encounter, how he sharpened his teeth, as it were, and felt the points of his own claws. The little devices of Mr. Chaffanbrass did not deceive him.
Dockwrath and his part in these transactions, he paid no compliment to the Hamworth attorney; but in referring to his learned friend on the other side he protested his conviction that the defence of Lady Mason would be conducted not only with zeal, but in that spirit of justice and truth for which the gentlemen opposite to him were so conspicuous in their profession.
"We hear a great deal up in London just at present about this Orley Farm case, and I always hear your name as connected with it. I had no idea when I was taking these lodgings that I was coming into a house belonging to that Mr. Dockwrath." "The same party, sir," said Mr. Dockwrath, blowing the smoke out of his mouth as he looked up to the ceiling. And then by degrees Mr.
"Half a moment, if you please, sir," said Moulder; and then he exclaimed with stentorian voice, "James, the dinner bill." "Yes, sir," said the waiter, and disappeared without any thought towards the requisition for brandy-and-water from Mr. Dockwrath. For the next five minutes they all remained silent, except that Mr.
Had reason been shown why the statement made by Dockwrath was in itself unworthy of belief, that that statement was in its own essence weak, then the character of the man making it might fairly affect its credibility. But presuming that statement to be wrong, presuming that it was corroborated by other evidence, how could it be affected by any amount of villainy on the part of Dockwrath?
