I wish, Mr Toogood, I could explain to you the toilsome perseverance with which I have cudgelled my poor brains, endeavouring to extract from them some scintilla of memory that would aid me." "Could you have picked it up in the house?" "No; no; that I did not do. Dull as I am, I know so much. It was mine of right, from whatever source it came to me.
"He is not just my cousin, himself," said Mr Toogood, "but of course it's all the same thing. And as to taking up his case, you see, my dear madam, he won't let me take it up." "I thought you had. I thought you were down here about it." "Only on the sly, Mrs Walker. He has such queer ideas that he will not allow a lawyer to be properly employed; and you can't conceive how hard that makes it.
In answer to this, Johnny pleaded that it would be as good as any other tour to him. He would see the world. "I'll tell you what," said Toogood; "I'll pay half. Only you mustn't tell Crump. And it will be quite as well not to tell Maria." But Johnny would hear nothing of this scheme. He would pay the entire cost of his own journey. He had lots of money, he said, and would like nothing better.
He felt that an answer was not only demanded, but almost enforced; and yet there might be much difficulty in giving it. "Mr Toogood," said Mr Crawley, seeing the attorney's hesitation, "I declare to you before God, that my only object will be to enable the jury to know about this sad matter all that I know myself. If I could open my breast to them I should be satisfied.
"If it's to be either, it will be the latter," said Johnny, as he took up his hat to go away. I Think He Is Light of Heart Mrs Arabin remained one day in town. Mr Toogood, in spite of his asseveration that he would not budge from Barchester till he had seen Mr Crawley through all his troubles, did run up to London as soon as the news reached him that John Eames had returned.

I think I will." "It would be a heavy expense, Mr Toogood." "Yes," said Toogood, mournfully, thinking of the twelve children; "it would be a heavy expense.
"The man's not above half-saved," he had said to his wife, meaning thereby to insinuate that the poor clergyman was not in full possession of his wits. And, to tell the truth of Mr Toogood, he was a little afraid of his relative.
"I do not as yet fully understand you, sir," he said, "being perhaps in such matters somewhat dull of intellect, but it seemeth to me that you are the messenger of glad tidings, whose feet are beautiful upon the mountains." "Beautiful!" said Toogood. "By George, I should think they are beautiful!
In answer to this Mr Toogood wrote back as follows: "Dear Mr Crawley, I will be at my office all Thursday morning next from ten to two, and will take care that you shan't be kept waiting for me above ten minutes. You parsons never like waiting. But hadn't you better come and breakfast with me and Maria at nine? Then we'd have a talk as we walk to the office.
"So that's my young cousin, is it?" said Toogood, stretching over and just managing to touch Jane's fingers, of which act of touching Jane was very chary. Then he went forth, and Mr Crawley followed him. There was the major standing in the road, and Toogood was anxious to be the first to communicate the good news.
