Name of Glassdale forgery. He got the same sentence that Brake got, about the same time, was in the same convict prison with Brake, and he and Brake would be released about the same date. There was no doubt about his identity I never forget a face, even after thirty years I'd tell one. I saw him in that bar before he saw me, and I took a careful look at him.
When Bryce came hurrying up to him, Folliot was standing at his garden door with his hands thrust under his coat-tails the very picture of a benevolent, leisured gentleman who has nothing to do and is disposed to give his time to anybody. He glanced at Bryce as he had glanced at Glassdale over the tops of his spectacles, and the glance had no more than mild inquiry in it.
"I wish you'd tell me all you know about Brake," said Bryce after a pause during which he had done some thinking. "Between ourselves, of course." "Oh I don't know that there's so much secrecy!" replied Glassdale almost indifferently. "Of course, I knew him first when we were both inmates of you understand where; no need for particulars.
Glassdale had been in Wrychester the previous evening; he could scarcely be far away now; there was certainly one person who would know where he could be found, and that person was the Duke of Saxonsteade.
Folliot turned quietly, and seeing the stranger, showed no surprise. He had a habit of looking over the top rims of his spectacles at people, and he looked in this way at Glassdale, glancing him up and down calmly. Glassdale lifted his slouch hat and advanced. "Mr. Folliot, I believe, sir?" he said. "Mr. Stephen Folliot?" "Aye, just so!" responded Folliot. "But I don't know you.
That man is really one Falkiner Wraye, the man Braden, or Brake, was seeking for many a year, the man who cheated Brake and got him into trouble. I tell you it's a fact! He's admitted it, or as good as done so, to me just now." "To you? And let you come away and spread it?" exclaimed Mitchington. "That's incredible! more astonishing than the other!" Glassdale laughed.
"I see," said Folliot. He pulled out a cigar case and offered a cigar to his visitor, afterwards lighting one himself. "And what did Braden want that man for?" he asked. Glassdale waited until his cigar was in full going order before he answered this question. Then he replied in one word. "Revenge!"
"You'd better go and see him," said the solicitor, suggestively. "You'll find him reserved enough." Glassdale read and re-read the name as if he were endeavouring to recollect it, or connect it with something. "What particular reason has this man for wishing to find this out?" he inquired. "Can't say, my good sir!" replied the solicitor, with a smile. "Perhaps he'll tell you. He hasn't told me."
"There was a certain man that Braden was very anxious to find," said Glassdale. "He'd been looking for him for a good many years." "A man?" asked Folliot. "One?" "Well, as a matter of fact, there were two," admitted Glassdale, "but there was one in particular. The other the second so Braden said, didn't matter; he was or had been, only a sort of cat's-paw of the man he especially wanted."
And I'll lay all I'm worth to a penny-piece that the Duke and those men are gladding their eyes with the sight of them just now! in Mitchington's office and that the information that they were where they've just been found was given to the Duke by Glassdale!" "Glassdale! That man!" exclaimed Bryce, who was puzzling his brain over possible developments. "That man, sir!" repeated Harker.
