I would not lift a finger to save him from 'ell Miss, and that's a fact!" "Then that is a promise, Mr. Johnnie?" said Augusta, sweetly ignoring the garnishing with which the promise was adorned; and on Mr. Johnnie stating that he looked at it in that light, she returned to Mr. Meeson.
Then in came the officers of the Court; and a moment afterwards, everybody rose as the Judge entered, and, looking, as Augusta thought, very cross when he saw the crowded condition of the court, bowed to the bar and took his seat. The Registrar, not Augusta's dear doctor Probate, but another Registrar, rose and called on the case of Meeson v.
Thence he passed to the history of Augusta's relation with the firm of Meeson and Co., which, as nearly everybody in the court, not excepting the Judge, had read "Jemima's Vow," was very interesting to his auditors.
"Go on," she said sharply, "and let us get it over as soon as possible." "Very well, Miss. What is it to be, old gentleman? Cut it short, you know." "'I leave all my property to Eustace H. Meeson, that's as short as I can get it; and, if properly witnessed, I think that it will cover everything," said Mr. Meeson, with a feeble air of triumph.
Augusta retreated till his wrath had spent itself, and then once more returned to the charge. She was sure, she said, that Mr. Johnnie would not mind witnessing the document, if anybody else could be found to submit to the pain of the tattooing. "Well," he said, "I don't know how as I mind doing that, since it's you as asked me, Miss, and not the d d old hulks of a Meeson.
Woodseer soon had experience that he was receiving exceptional treatment from Lord Fleetwood, whose manservant was on the steps of the hotel in Salzburg on the lookout for his master. 'Sir Meeson has been getting impatient, my lord, said the man. Sir Meeson Corby appeared; Lord Fleetwood cut him short: 'You 're in a hurry; go at once, don't wait for me; I join you in Baden.
This young man had not, indeed, even taken the trouble to remove his hat, which was stuck upon the back of his head, his hands were in his pockets, a sacrilegious whistle hovered on his lips, and he opened the door of the sanctum sanctorum of the Meeson establishment with a kick!
Quite so, my Lord, and I think that in this case your Lordship will be satisfied that there is no reason why probate should not issue. It is, humanly speaking, impossible that Mr. Meeson can have escaped the general destruction. The President: Have you any affidavit from anybody who saw Mr. Meeson in the water?
Augusta, obeying a tender impulse of humanity, hurried forward and stretched out the hand of succour, and presently, between her help and that of the bulwark netting, the man struggled to his feet. As he did so his face came close to hers, and in the dim light she recognised the fat, coarse features, now blanched with misery, of Mr. Meeson, the publisher.
Meeson; you must have been having a good look at us." Here Augusta interposed, fearing least her admirer for with an unerring instinct, she now guessed how matters stood should say something foolish. A young man who is capable of standing to stare at a house in Hanover-square is, she thought, evidently capable of anything. "I was surprised to see you yesterday," she said.
