That she must fear the result of the trial, he thought, was certain, but he could not bring himself to have any such fear. As to any suspicion of her guilt, no such idea had even for one moment cast a shadow upon his peace of mind. At that time Sir Richard Leatherham was the Solicitor-general, and he had been retained as leading counsel for the prosecution.
Then got up Sir Richard Leatherham, the solicitor-general, and at great length and with wonderful perspicuity explained all the circumstances of the case, beginning with the undoubted will left by Sir Joseph Mason, the will independently of the codicil, and coming down gradually to the discovery of that document in Mr.
"Do they think that she will will be acquitted? Of course the people there were talking about it?" "Yes, sir, they were talking about it. But I really don't know as to any opinion. You see, the chief witnesses have not been examined." "And you, Perry, what do you think?" "I, sir! Well, I was altogether on her side till I heard Sir Richard Leatherham." "And then ?"
But as he made this assertion, almost everybody in the court except her own counsel did look at her. Joseph Mason opposite and Dockwrath fixed their gaze closely upon her. Sir Richard Leatherham and Mr. Steelyard turned their eyes towards her, probably without meaning to do so. The judge looked over his spectacles at her. Even Mr.
"Sir Richard Leatherham told us the accusation they make against her, and then they examined Dockwrath and one or two others. They have not got further than that." "And the Lady Mason how does she bear it?" "Very well I should say. She does not seem to be nearly as nervous now, as she was while staying with us." "Ah! indeed. She is a wonderful woman, a very wonderful woman. So she bears up?
He had not as yet received the written opinion of Sir Richard Leatherham, to whom he had applied; but nevertheless, as he wished to give every possible notice, he had called to say that his firm were of opinion that an action must be brought either for forgery or for perjury. "For perjury!" Mr. Furnival had said. "Well; yes. We would wish to be as little harsh as possible.
Furnival at this time did not come near her; and had he done so, what could he have said to her? He and Sir Richard Leatherham left the court together, and the latter went at once back to London without waiting to hear the verdict. Mr. Chaffanbrass also, and Felix Graham retired from the scene of their labours, and as they did so, a few words were spoken between them. "Mr.
Poor fellow, he'll have a hard job of work on hand just then, and won't have much time for philandering. With Chaffanbrass to watch him on his own side, and Leatherham on the other, I don't envy him his position. I almost think I should keep my arm in the sling till the assizes were over, by way of exciting a little pity." "Is Mr. Graham going to defend Lady Mason?" "To help to do so, my dear."
Why was it that a man respected by all the world, such as Sir Richard Leatherham, should rise in court and tell such a tale as that against his mother; and that the power of answering that tale on his mother's behalf should be left to such another man as Mr. Chaffanbrass?
He endeavoured therefore to seem indifferent; but in doing so he swaggered, and was conscious that he swaggered; and he felt as he gained his seat that Mr. Chaffanbrass had been too much for him. Then one Mr. Torrington from London was examined by Sir Richard Leatherham, and he proved, apparently beyond all doubt, that a certain deed which he produced was genuine.
