You, in your position, have to be civil to such people. I dare say I shall get on very well with Mr. Gotobed." "I must get somebody to meet him." "Lady Augustus and her daughter are coming." "They knew each other in Washington. And there will be so many ladies." "You could ask the Coopers from Mallingham," suggested the lady. "I don't think they would dine out. He's getting very old."
Gotobed was able to tell him about Goarly, had advised the Senator to settle with Bearside, taking a due receipt and having some person with him when he did so. The legal friend had thought that a small sum of money would suffice.
Morton was the last man in the world to have been aggressive on such a matter; but with the Senator it was necessary either to be prostrate or to fight. But with Mr. Gotobed such fighting never produced ill blood. It was the condition of his life, and it must be supposed that he liked it.
"Good night, Mr. Gotobed," said his Lordship. "I cannot tell you how much I respect both your purpose and your courage; but I don't know how far it is wise for a man to tell any other man, much less a nation, of all his faults." "You English tell us of ours pretty often," said the Senator.
Gotobed." "I guess half-a-dozen would do just as well, only for the show. What strikes me, Mr. Morton, on visiting this old country is that so much is done for show." "What do you say to New York, Mr. Gotobed?" "There certainly are a couple of hundred fools in New York, who, having more money than brains, amuse themselves by imitating European follies.
"Quite as much as he deserves, Mr. Gotobed," replied Larry. The Senator's name had lately become familiar as a household word in Dillsborough, and was, to tell the truth, odious to such men as Larry Twentyman. "He's a thundering rascal, and the only place fit for him in the county is Rufford gaol. He's like to be there soon, I think." "That's what provokes me," said the Senator.
Perhaps you will not think it too much trouble to signify the lady's acceptance of the mount in your letter." Then she swam out of the room knowing that she left him in anger. After that he had to find Mr. Gotobed.
"Lunnon." "Really very likely. By the train or on foot?" "On foot, I s'pose." "Thank you, ma'am. If you should see them again, or hear where they are, oblige me by conveying this card to Mr. Waife. My employer, ma'am, Mr. Gotobed, Craven Street, Strand, eminent solicitor. He has something of importance to communciate to Mr. Waife." "Yes, sir, a lawyer; I understand."
I don't think you'd see anything like that model farm in our country, Sir." "Your views, Mr. Gotobed, are utilitarian rather than picturesque." "Oh! if you say that it is done for the picturesque, that is another thing. Lord Rufford is a wealthy lord, and can afford to be picturesque.
Mr. Gotobed gave an address, but thought that in such a matter as that his word might be trusted. If it were not trusted then the offer might fall to the ground. Mr. Bearside was profuse in his apologies and declared that the gentleman's word was as good as his bond. Mr. Gotobed made no secret of his doings.
