Jeroloman, selecting a safe place on the table, put the hat on it and answered, not sparringly, there was nothing to spar about, but with civil indifference: "Interested professionally?" "His widow is my client." Jeroloman's eyes fastened themselves on Dunwoodie, who he knew was incapable of anything that savoured, however remotely, of shysterism.
To distract her attention, instantly Jones improvised a limerick. "There was a young man named Purdy, who was not what you'd call very sturdy. To be more of a sport, he drank gin by the quart, and danced on a hurdy-gurdy." "You're insane," announced Cassy, who was a trifle demented herself. Dunwoodie extracted his towel. "Jeroloman is the attorney for the other side. He will want to meet Mrs.
Don't let me detain you." Jeroloman sat down. "What case are you referring to?" "The Matter of Ziegler." Uncertainly Jeroloman's steel-blue eyes shifted. "It seems to me I read the syllabus." "Then your powers of concealment are admirable." "But just what does it hold?" "Can it be that you don't remember? "But," Jeroloman began and paused. "But " He paused again. Comfortably Dunwoodie helped him.
There has always been a Paliser here and it is your turn now which reminds me. I have made over some property to you. You would have had it any way, but the transfer will put you on your feet, besides saving the inheritance tax." "Thank you. What is it?" "The Place, the Wall Street and lower Broadway property, that damned hotel and the opera-box. Jeroloman wrote you about it.
"What a woman wants is usually beyond masculine comprehension." Methodically Jeroloman dusted his hat. "You might enquire. We, none of us, favour litigation. In the interests of my client I always try to avoid it and, while at present. I have no authority, yet Well, well! Between ourselves, how would a ponderable amount, four or five thousand, how would that do?"
"Yes?" "You say that marriages valid before and until the Laws of 1901 are, by virtue of a repeal, now valid again?" "That is what I say, Jeroloman. Merely that and nothing more. In addition to the Ziegler case, let me commend to you 'The Raven." "Let's get down to facts, sir. From your account of it, this alleged marriage never could have been valid." Dunwoodie wiped his mouth. "Dear me!
Dryly but involuntarily Jeroloman laughed. Dunwoodie was getting on, getting old. In his day he had been remarkably able. That day had gone. "Well, well! Even admitting that such a thing could have happened, it must have been only by way of a lark." Dunwoodie whipped out his towel. "You don't say so!" Carelessly Jeroloman surveyed him.
Now here it was again, more mephitic than ever, and for the whiffs of it with which Jeroloman was spraying him, he hated the man. "Whom has she?" "Dunwoodie." He reviewed the bar. There was Bancroft, whose name was always in the papers and to whom clients flocked. There was Gwathmay, whom the papers ignored and whom only lawyers consulted.
There is 'The Raven, the first primer, the multiplication table. Is it for your enlightenment that you ask?" Jeroloman moistened his lips. Precise, careful, capable, intensely respectable, none the less he could have struck him. A moment only. From the sleeve of his coat he flicked, or affected to flick, a speck. "Yes, thank you, for my enlightenment. You have not told me what your client wants."
And if you will trouble to look at the Laws of 1907, you will find they are inhibited no longer." Jeroloman stared. "I have yet to learn of it." Dunwoodie repocketed his towel. "Is it possible? Then when the opportunity occurs you might inform yourself. At the same time let me recommend the Court of Appeals for March. You may find there additional instruction. But I see you are going.
