Now Mr. Jellicorse had been taking a careful view of everything.
Jellicorse got frightened and ran in: "this poor man has only one arm; and if he had two, he could not hurt me, even if he wished it. Be pleased to withdraw, Diana. John Smithies, you have simply made a fool of yourself. I have not said a word against Sir Duncan Yordas, or his wife, or his son " "He hath no son, I tell you; and that was partly how he lost his wife."
Jellicorse shook his head very gravely, and said, as he opened and looked through his packet, which confirmed the words of Jordas, "Sad indiscretion want of legal knowledge headstrong women the very way to spoil it all! My troubles are beginning, and I had better go to bed."
