A power-of-attorney which would have enabled him to attend to her affairs would not necessarily have been registered in the Scottish or American courts; yet, knowing the methodical habit of the Scottish bar, I caused search to be made in the private papers and records of those local advocates who might possibly have handled the business in Scotland; but with no results so far.
This was done, but in such carefully guarded terms, that even the most exquisite susceptibility on the part of Maxime could not have been hurt. It was five o'clock, when the power-of-attorney and the deed were signed, and the two friends left the worthy notary's office.
Exactly there lies the monopoly of the proprietor; in the fact that, though he did not make the implement, he asks pay for its use.

If you think the two of us can do with three lungs, why, we'll grab a psalm-shouter and " "Billy! Billy!" Ponatah clung to him fiercely, hungrily. "Oh, Billy I'll make you well.

How do you know he can't?" "Because I do." Nickleby set down his glass triumphantly. "I don't mind letting you into a little secret, gentlemen. That power-of-attorney has been destroyed." "Are you sure?" gasped Ferguson. "I ought to be. I burned it myself!" "No! You're stuffing us, J. C. You may be clever; but you're not as clever as that! Say, will you swear to that?"
