The barrister whose name was Sevenning H.V. Sevenning, of T.C.D. and Cheltenham College renown was keenly interested. It was not only that his sense of chivalry was stirred, but he saw sport. Consequently, the foregoing conversation resulted in a prosecution which, taking place some four weeks later, was reported in the London Herald as follows
"The silly fool!" Lilian Rosenberg said. "I would like to see any one trying to coerce me. And it is to serve her you want me to sacrifice myself." And she turned away in disgust. After this interview, Lilian studiously avoided Shiel; and despairing, at length, of ever winning her over, Shiel reported his failure to H.V. Sevenning. "We must subpoena her," said Sevenning.
"You'll never get her to speak that way," Shiel said. "If once she has made up her mind not to do a thing, nothing will ever compel her." "I have heard that said of people before," H.V. Sevenning replied dryly, "but it's wonderful what the witness-box can do; it loosens the most mulish tongues in a marvellous manner." "It wouldn't hers," Shiel maintained.
"We must get hold of that girl at all costs," H.V. Sevenning remarked to Shiel. "You say you feel sure she likes you. Work upon her feelings to show the Firm up." "I don't much like the idea of it," Shiel said, "but I suppose the end justifies the means." "Of course it does!" Sevenning retorted. "It's your only chance of saving Miss Martin."
H.V. Sevenning, however, thought he knew best what lawyer doesn't? Moreover, it was all part of the game the great game of becoming notorious at all costs. He served the subpoena. Like most modern girls, Lilian Rosenberg was wholly selfish; and for this fault only her parents were to blame.
