Nickem did not doubt that for a moment, and would not have doubted it whichever side he might have taken. Nickem did not suppose that any one for a moment really doubted Goarly's guilt. But to his eyes such certainty amounted to nothing, if evidence of the crime were not forthcoming.
Masters, Nickem winked again and put his fore-finger to the side of his big carbuncled nose. That evening Larry Twentyman came in, but was not received with any great favour by Mrs. Masters. There was growing up at this moment in Dillsborough the bitterness of real warfare between the friends and enemies of sport in general, and Mrs. Masters was ranking herself thereby among the enemies.
He probably felt within his own bosom that the last judgment of all would depend in some way on terrestrial evidence, and was quite sure that it was by such that a man's conscience should be affected. If Goarly had so done the deed as to be beyond the possibility of detection, Nickem could not have brought himself to regard Goarly as a sinner.
"There's been strychnine put down in the Brake too," said Hampton. "But not in cartloads," said the Master. "I rather think," said Larry, "that Nickem knows where the strychnine was bought. That'll make a clear case of it. Hanging would be too good for such a scoundrel" This was said after the third glass of champagne, but the opinion was one which was well received by the whole company.
But why an old fellow like that should come down from the moon to pay ever so much money for such a man as Goarly, is what I don't understand." "Notoriety," said the doctor. "He evidently don't know that Nickem has got round Goarly," said the landlord. At Cheltenham
Masters' office, and thus brought him and his family to absolute ruin within a few months in spite of the liberal answers which were made by Lord Rufford to many of his numerous appeals. Away in Norrington the poison had been purchased as much as three years ago, and yet Nickem had had the luck to find it out.
What can it matter to a lawyer whether it's revenge or anything else? He's got the means, I suppose?" "I don't know, my dear." "What does Nickem say?" "I suppose he has the means," said Mr. Masters, who was aware that if he told his wife a fib on the matter, she would learn the truth from his senior clerk, Mr. Samuel Nickem. Among the professional gifts which Mr.
His Clerk, Nickem, who was afflicted with no such darkness, but who ridiculed the idea of scruple in an attorney, often took part against him.
"I suppose he got something." "What an idiot that man must be. Can you understand it, Mr. Masters?" They now entered the club and Goarly and Nickem and Scrobby were of course being discussed. "Is it true, Mr. Masters, that Scrobby is to be arrested?" asked Fred Botsey at once. "Upon my word I can't say, Mr. Botsey; but if you tell me it is so I shan't cry my eyes out"
It was the wish of his heart to get rid of Nickem; but Nickem would have carried business with him and gone over to some enemy, or, perhaps have set up in some irregular manner on his own bottom; and his wife would have given him no peace had he done so, for she regarded Nickem as the mainstay of the house. "What is Lord Rufford to you?" asked Mrs. Masters. "He has always been very friendly."
