"Well; I have; just a word." "About your journey to Devonshire?" "Well; in a way it is about my journey to Devonshire. It's all along of the same job, Mr. Trewillian." "You can speak before my friend here," said Trevelyan.
We're hexpensive, and we're haccurate; neither of which is much in your line, Mr. S., if I understand about it rightly." "Mr. Bozzle, if you've got anything to tell, tell it," said Trevelyan angrily. "A third party is so objectionable," pleaded Bozzle. "Never mind. That is my affair." "It is your affair, Mr. Trewillian. There's not a doubt of that. The lady is your wife."
"I have no doubt you've been very careful, Mr. Bozzle," said he. "There isn't no one in the business could be more so, Mr. Trewillian." "And you have found out what it was necessary that I should know. Colonel Osborne did go to the Clock House?"
S. I've means as you can know nothing about, Mr. S. I've irons in the fire, what you're as ignorant on as the babe as isn't born." "No doubt you have, Mr. Bozzle," said Stanbury. "I has. And now if it be that I must speak before a third party, Mr. Trewillian, I'm ready. It ain't that I'm no ways ashamed. I've done my duty, and knows how to do it.
"And I'm to keep stirring, and be on the move?" again suggested Bozzle, who prudently required to be fortified by instructions before he devoted his time and talents even to so agreeable a pursuit as that in which he had been engaged. "You shall hear from me," said Trevelyan. "Very well; very well. I wish you good-day, Mr. Trewillian. Mr. S., yours most obedient. There was one other point, Mr.
Thrice he went thither, intent on finding his son-in-law's residence. On the two first occasions he saw no one but Mrs. Bozzle; and the discretion of that lady in declining to give any information was most admirable. "Trewillian!" Yes, she had heard the name certainly. It might be that her husband had business engagements with a gent of that name.
Trewillian, one can't see. But I don't think as he saw neither Mrs. Stanbury, nor Miss Stanbury, not to speak to. I did just have one word, promiscuous, with Sarah French, after he was gone. Whether the other young lady was with 'em or not, and if so for how long, I can't say. There is things, Mr. Trewillian, which one can't see."
Bozzle, is, whether Colonel Osborne has been at the Clock House?" "He has been there, Mr. Trewillian. There is no earthly doubt about that. From hour to hour I can tell you pretty nearly where he's been since he left London." Then Bozzle took out his memorandum-book. "I don't care about all that," said Trevelyan. "I dare say not, sir; but it may be wanted all the same.
And let a counsel be ever so sharp, I never yet was so 'posed but what I could stand up and hold my own. The Colonel, Mr. Trewillian, got, a letter, from your lady, this morning." "I don't believe it," said Stanbury, sharply. "Very likely not, Mr. S. It ain't in my power to say anything whatever about you believing or not believing. But Mr.
Trewillian." "What point?" asked Trevelyan, angrily. "If the lady was to join the Colonel " "That will do, Mr. Bozzle," said Trevelyan, again jumping up from his chair. "That will do." So saying, he opened the door, and Bozzle, with a bow, took his departure. "What on earth am I to do? How am I to save her?" said the wretched husband, appealing to his friend.
