Kantwise had at once made up his mind that it would be as well that he should see Dockwrath.
"Sir," said he, turning to Mr. Moulder, "I think you'll find it extremely difficult to define that word; extremely difficult. In this enterprising country all men are more or less commercial." "Hear! hear!" said Mr. Kantwise. "That's gammon," said Mr. Moulder. "Gammon it may be," said Mr. Dockwrath, "but nevertheless it's right in law.
"He went out to Mason's at Groby Park that same day," said Moulder. "Then it's the same man," said Kenneby; and there was as much solemnity in the tone of his voice as though the unravelment of all the mysteries of the iron mask was now about to take place. Mr. Kantwise still said nothing, but he also perceived that it was the same man.
"But I say it was the old gentleman's will. You never dared say as much as that in court." "I wasn't asked," said Bridget. "You weren't asked! Yes, you was asked often enough." "I'll tell you what it is," said Kantwise, "Mrs. Bolster's right in what she says as sure as your name's Moulder." "Then as sure as my name's Moulder she's wrong.
Bridget had arrived, and had been seated in a chair at one corner of the fire. Mrs. Moulder occupied one end of a sofa opposite, leaving the place of honour at the other end for Mrs. Smiley. Moulder sat immediately in front of the fire in his own easy chair, and Snengkeld and Kantwise were on each side of him. They were of course discussing the trial when Mrs.
Moulder ordered his little bit of steak with his tea. "With the gravy in it, James," he said, solemnly. "And a bit of fat, and a few slices of onion, thin mind, put on raw, not with all the taste fried out; and tell the cook if she don't do it as it should be done, I'll be down into the kitchen and do it myself. You'll join me, Kantwise, eh?" "Well, I think not; I dined at three, you know."
Will you be good enough to tell us, Mr. Solicitor for I didn't just catch your name, except that it begins with a dock and that's where most of your clients are to be found, I suppose " "Order, order, order!" said Kantwise, holding up both his hands. "It's the chair as is speaking," said Mr. Gape, who had a true Englishman's notion that the chair itself could not be called to order.
He looked as though a skin rather too small for the purpose had been drawn over his head and face so that his forehead and cheeks and chin were tight and shiny. His eyes were small and green, always moving about in his head, and were seldom used by Mr. Kantwise in the ordinary way.
It will give me the sincerest pleasure." And Mr. Kantwise proposed to leave the room in order that he might introduce the three boxes in question. "They would not be at all in my way," said Mr. Dockwrath. "The trouble would be nothing," said Mr. Kantwise, "and it gives me the greatest pleasure to make them known when I find any one who can appreciate such undoubted luxuries;" and so saying Mr.
Dockwrath did see him, and the result was that Mr. Kantwise got his money, fourteen eleven; at least he got fourteen seven six, and had a very hard fight for the three odd half-crowns, and Dockwrath learned that John Kenneby, if duly used, would give evidence on his side of the question. And then Kenneby did go down to Hamworth. He had not seen Miriam Usbech since the days of her marriage.
