Thrilled, Edward Henry responded: "Then I'll write to those lawyer people, Slossons, and tell 'em I'll be around with the brass about eleven to-morrow." Mr. Sachs rose. A clock had delicately chimed two. "If ever you come to New York, and I can do anything for you " said Mr. Sachs, heartily. "Thanks," said Edward Henry. They were shaking hands. "I say," Edward Henry went on.
Edward Henry, having been a lawyer's clerk some twenty-five years earlier, was aware of Slossons.
Edward Henry burst out laughing; but it was a nervous, half-hysterical laugh that he laughed. In Carey Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, he descended from his brougham in front of the offices of Messrs Slosson, Hodge, Budge, Slosson, Maveringham, Slosson & Vulto solicitors known in the profession by the compendious abbreviation of Slossons.
I shouldn't know whether I was standing on my head or my heels by the time they'd done with me. I've tried to face them out before about things." "Who Mr. Wrissell, or Slossons?" "Both? Eh, but I should like to put a spoke in Mr. Wrissell's wheel gentleman as he is. You see he's just one of those men you can't help wanting to tease. When you're on the road you meet lots of 'em."
Vulto removed his eyeglasses and stood up. "Well, good morning. I'll walk round to my solicitors." Edward Henry seized the option. "That will be simpler," said Mr. Vulto. Slossons much preferred to deal with lawyers than, with laymen, because it increased costs and vitalized the profession. At that moment a stout, red-faced and hoary man puffed very authoritatively into the room.
He had even written letters to the mighty Slossons. Every lawyer and lawyer's clerk in the realm knew the greatness of Slossons, and crouched before it, and also, for the most part, impugned its righteousness with sneers.
Upon which enigmatic warning he departed, and was lost in the immense glittering nocturnal silence of Wilkins's. Edward Henry sat down to write to Slossons by the 3 A.M. post. But as he wrote he kept saying to himself: "So Elsie April's her name, is it? And she actually persuaded Sachs Sachs to make a fool of himself!"
