She had heard Kenneby instructed to look up, and she therefore fixed her eyes upon the canopy over the judge's seat. There she fixed them, and there she kept them till her examination was over, merely turning them for a moment on to Mr. Chaffanbrass, when that gentleman became particularly severe in his treatment of her. What she said in answer to Mr. Steelyard, was very simple.
Dockwrath at Hamworth, in accordance with the invitation received from that gentleman; his enemy, Dockwrath, who had carried off Miriam Usbech, for whom John Kenneby still sighed, in a gentle easy manner indeed, but still sighed as though it were an affair but of yesterday. But though he had so agreed, and though he had never stirred from that resolve, he by no means did it immediately.
"Do you mean," continued the judge, "that you didn't see him, or that you don't remember that you saw him?" "I don't remember that I saw him." "But you may have done so? He may have signed, and you may have seen him do so, only you don't remember it?" "Yes, my lord." And then Kenneby was allowed to go down. As he did so, Joseph Mason, who sat near to him, turned upon him a look black as thunder.
As he did so, he looked closely at Mr. Round's face, but there he could read nothing. "Exactly," said Mr. Round. "The fourteenth of July is the date of both. I have taken a memorandum of that. A final deed for closing partnership, was it? I have got that down. John Kenneby and Bridget Bolster. I remember the names, witnesses to both deeds, were they?
"I don't exactly know what to say about it," said Mrs. Smiley. "If Mr. Kenneby ain't willing, I'm not the woman to bind him to his word, because I've had his promise over and over again, and could prove it by a number of witnesses before any jury in the land. I'm an independent woman as needn't be beholden to any man, and I should never think of damages.
But I don't think it will matter much who is or is not on the jury." "And why not?" "If those two witnesses break down that is, Kenneby and Bolster, no jury can convict her. And if they don't " "Then no jury can acquit her. But let me tell you, Aram, that it's not every man put into a jury-box who can tell whether a witness has broken down or not." "But from what I hear, Mr.
"I shall never cut up such another bird as that, the longest day that I have to live," he said; and then he took out his large red silk handkerchief and wiped the perspiration from his brow. "Deary me, M.; don't think of that now," said the wife. "What's the use?" said Snengkeld. "Care killed a cat." "And perhaps you may," said John Kenneby, trying to comfort him; "who knows?"
But Kenneby had promised to go to Bedford Row, merely stipulating for a day at some little distance of time. That day was now near at hand; but he was to see Dockwrath first, and hence it occurred that he now made his journey to Hamworth. But another member of that Christmas party at Great St. Helen's had not been so slow in carrying out his little project. Mr.
She had made herself very comfortable that morning with buttered toast and sausages; and when at Dockwrath's instance Kenneby had submitted to a slight infusion of Dutch courage, a bottle of brandy would not have sufficed for the purpose, Bridget also had not refused the generous glass.
Kenneby, sir, your very humble servant. The day's coming on fast; isn't it, Mr. Kenneby? Ma'am, your very obedient. I believe I haven't the pleasure of being acquainted." "Mrs. Smiley, Mr. Kantwise. Mr. Kantwise, Mrs. Smiley," said the lady of the house, introducing her visitors to each other in the appropriate way. "Quite delighted, I'm sure," said Kantwise.
