Jasper inquired "if that annuity was to continue?" Mr. Gotobed referred the inquiry to Darrell, observing that the object for which this extra allowance had been made was rendered nugatory by the death of Mrs. Darrell, and that it could signify but little what name might in future be borne by one whose connection with the Darrell family was wholly dissolved.
Runciman had heard of the Senator Gotobed, as indeed had all Dillsborough by this time. "And I am speaking of justice all the world over," said the Senator slapping his hand upon his thigh. "But I only want to see. It may be that England is a country in which a poor man should not attempt to hold a few acres of land."
"How was it that the poor woman lost all her geese?" asked the Senator. "She was paid for a great many more than she lost, Mr. Gotobed." "That doesn't touch upon the injustice of the proceeding. Who assessed the loss, sir? Who valued the geese?
But just at that moment, while the hounds and the master, and Lord Rufford and his friends, were turning back in their own direction, John Morton came up with his carriage and the Senator. "Is it all over?" asked the Senator. "All over for to-day," said Lord Rufford. "Did you catch the animal?" "No, Mr. Gotobed; we couldn't catch him.

That he called himself Gotobed Goarly did remember, and also that he had said that he was an American.
