It is dreadful to think that in this free and enlightened country so abject an offender should have been able to hold her head up so long without punishment and without disgrace." "That is exactly what I feel," said Dockwrath. "The very stones and trees of Hamworth cry out against her." "Gentlemen," said Mr. Round, "we have first to see whether there has been any injustice or not.
But she had not married, and I think I may say on her behalf that she had never thought of marrying. Indeed, one cannot see how such a woman could make any effort in that line. It was impossible to conceive that a lady so staid in her manner should be guilty of flirting; nor was there any man within ten miles of Hamworth who would have dared to make the attempt.
Furnival again raised his eyes from the papers on the table, and leaning back in his chair, gave himself up to further consideration of the Orley Farm case. Crabwitz he knew was a sharp, clever man, and now the opinion formed by Crabwitz, after having seen this Hamworth attorney, tallied with his own opinion. Yes; it was his own opinion.
"I don't know where I shall go!" said the squire of Groby, not content to be cross-questioned by the attorney from Hamworth. "Because it's as well, I suppose, that we should settle something about the costs before you leave. I don't want to press for my money exactly now, but I shall be glad to know when I'm to get it." "If you have any claim on me, Mr. Dockwrath, you can send it to Mr. Round."
Had it been possible to keep this matter from him altogether, she would have given much to do so; but now it would not be possible. It was clear that Mr. Dockwrath had chosen to make the matter public, acting no doubt with forethought in doing so; and Lucius would be sure to hear words which would become common in Hamworth.
These words, be it remembered, were uttered not by the man himself, but by the spirit of port wine within the man. "Tom, do you say that; after all?" "By heavens I do say it! I'll not be told in my own drawing-room, even by you, that I am disgracing myself." "Then why do you go after that woman down to Hamworth? All the world is talking of you. At your age too!
Mason's confidence in Dockwrath had gone on increasing day by day since they had first met each other at Groby Park, till he now wished that he had altogether taken the advice of the Hamworth attorney and put this matter entirely into his hands.
Lucius Mason had been at The Cleeve two or three times since his return from Germany, and on going there had always declared to himself that it was the same to him as though he were going into the house of Mrs. Arkwright, the doctor's widow at Hamworth, or even into the kitchen of Farmer Greenwood. He rejoiced to call himself a democrat, and would boast that rank could have no effect on him.
It is not much, and perhaps after all may not be worth attention. You know the attorney in Hamworth who married Miriam Usbech?" "What, Samuel Dockwrath? Oh, yes; I know him well enough; and to tell the truth I do not think very well of him. Is he not a tenant of yours?" "Not at present."
The servant did not mean Lady Mason. It was an elderly stout lady who had come in a fly, and the elderly stout lady was now in the drawing-room with his mother. Lady Mason was still up stairs. We all know who was that elderly stout lady, and we must now go back and say a few words as to her journey from Orange Street to Hamworth. On the preceding evening Mrs.
