"It looks uncommon like it," said Snengkeld. "When a gentleman," said Gape, "who does not belong to a society " "It's no good having more talk," said Moulder, "and we'll soon bring this to an end. Mr. ; I haven't the honour of knowing the gentleman's name." "My name is Dockwrath, and I am a solicitor." "Oh, a solicitor; are you? and you said last night you was commercial!
"But didn't she get a verdict?" asked Snengkeld. "Yes, she got a verdict. There's no doubt on earth about that." "Then it's my opinion she can't make herself guilty if she wished it; and as for the property, she can't give it up. The jury has found a verdict, and nobody can go beyond that. If anybody tries she'll have her action against 'em." That was the law as laid down by Snengkeld.
Dockwrath's punishment had come he had been hardly contented, but the inadequacy of Kenneby's testimony had restored him to good humour, and the verdict had made him triumphant. "Didn't I know it, old fellow?" he had said, slapping his friend Snengkeld on the back.
"What, the turkey?" said Snengkeld. "You didn't think it'd be a ostrich, did you?" "Ha, ha, ha!" laughed Snengkeld. "No, I didn't expect nothing but a turkey here on Christmas-day." "And nothing but a turkey you'll have, my boys. Can you eat turkey, Kantwise?" Mr. Kantwise declared that his only passion in the way of eating was for a turkey. "As for John, I'm sure of him.
But its P.P. here, as every commercial gentleman knows, Kantwise as well as the best of us." "P.P., that's the rule," growled Snengkeld, almost from under the table. "In commercial rooms, as the gentleman must be aware, the rule is as stated by my friend on my right," said Mr. Gape.
"If you've anything to say to clear that woman's character," said Moulder, "you owe it to society to say it; because she is a woman, and because her enemies is villains." And then again there was silence while they waited for him. "I think it will go with him to his grave," said Mrs. Smiley, very solemnly. "I shouldn't wonder," said Snengkeld.
"The old ticket I suppose; five bob a head." And then he read out the bill, the total of which, wine and beer included, came to forty shillings. "Five shillings a head, gentlemen, as I said. You and I can make a pretty good guess as to the figure; eh, Snengkeld?" And then he put down his two half-crowns on the waiter, as also did Mr. Snengkeld, and then Mr. Gape, and so on till it came to Mr.
Dockwrath;" and then he imparted in another whisper the necessary information as to Mr. Snengkeld. "Soft goods, for Brown Brothers, of Snow Hill," and so on through the whole fraternity. Each member bowed as his name was mentioned; but they did not do so very graciously, as Mr. Kantwise was not a great man among them.
Moulder," said Snengkeld, speaking with a deep, hoarse voice which seemed to ascend from some region of his body far below his chest. Moulder and Snengkeld were congenial spirits; but the latter, though the older man, was not endowed with so large a volume of body or so highly dominant a spirit. Brown Brothers, of Snow Hill, were substantial people, and Mr.
Moulder did not quite approve. "Mr. Snengkeld and Mr. Gape, they're my old friends, and they knows me. And they knows the way of a commercial room which some gentlemen don't seem as though they do.
