On this occasion he asked only for the baronet. "Ah! ah! I'm glad you're come, Mr Gazebee; very glad," said Sir Louis; acting the part of the rich, great man with all the power he had. "I want to ask you a few questions so as to make it all clear sailing between us." "As you have asked to see me, I have come, Sir Louis," said the other, putting on much dignity as he spoke.

What you mean to say is I can't go to law with Mr Gresham; I'm not so sure of that; but perhaps not. But I can compel Dr Thorne to look after my interests. I can force him to foreclose. And to tell you the truth, Gazebee, unless some arrangement is proposed to me which I shall think advantageous, I shall do so at once. There is near a hundred thousand pounds owing to me; yes to me.

As the friend of the countess he had been a great man in her eyes; in all her little words and looks she had acknowledged his power; but now, as her son-in-law, he was to become a very little man, such as was Mortimer Gazebee! "My dear Adolphus," she said, taking both his hands, "the day is coming very near now; is it not?" "Very near, indeed," he said. "Yes, it is very near.

There; you may answer his letter; I won't." "And about the money?" "Why doesn't he write to Gazebee about his dirty money? Why does he trouble me? I haven't got his money. Ask Gazebee about his money. I won't trouble myself about it." Then there was another pause, during which the countess folded the letter, and put it in her pocket.

"Will you, will you will you, will you come and be killed?" Although Mr Gazebee urged the matter with such eloquence, the squire remained steady to his objection, and swam obstinately about his Greshamsbury pond in any direction save that which seemed to lead towards London. This occurred on the very evening of that Friday which had witnessed the Lady Arabella's last visit to Dr Thorne's house.

Of course, Mr Moffat having been in Parliament, and having been taken up by uncle de Courcy, was in a different sphere; but I really felt almost relieved when he behaved in that way. With Mortimer Gazebee, I think it would be different. I shall wait so impatiently for your answer, so do pray write at once.

That was the way your father got hold of him; not your father, but your grandfather. I used to know all about it. Well, I was sorry for Umbleby. He has got something, I suppose eh?" Frank said that he believed Mr Yates Umbleby had something wherewith to keep the wolf from the door. "So you have got Gazebee down there now?

"Shall 'Ooo die Uncle Dolphus, 'cause 'oo've got a bad eye?" asked de Courcy Gazebee, the eldest hope of the family, looking up into his face. "No, my hero," said Crosbie, taking the boy up into his arms, "not because I've got a black eye. There isn't very much harm in that, and you'll have a great many before you leave school. But because the people will go on talking about it."

She was probably unaware that among many of his associates her father had been called Lord de Curse'ye, from the occasional energy of his language. "And any such attempt is painful in my ears. I think something of my family, I can assure you, Adolphus, and so does my husband." "A very great deal," said Mr Gazebee. "So do I of mine," said Crosbie. "That's natural to all of us.

An ambiguous hint had been conveyed to Mr Gazebee, during a visit of business which he had lately made to Courcy Castle, that the milliner's bills might as well be pinned on to those of the furniture-makers, the crockery-mongers, and the like.
