It was necessary that he should make a report to his employer, and the report might be made a little more full after a few words with the man whom he had been "looking into." "Well, Mr. Trewillian," he said, seating himself on a chair close against the wall, and holding his hat between the knees, "I've seen the parties, and know pretty much all about it." "All I want to know, Mr.
Trewillian; and though of course it's not for me to speak; she's your lady, still, when you has got a thing of this kind in hand, one head is better than a dozen. As for myself, Mr. Trewillian, I never wouldn't look at a case, not if I knew it, unless I was to have it all to myself. But of course there was no bargain, and so I says nothing."
If I was to say what was inside of that billydou, why, then I should be proving what I didn't know; and when it came to standing up in court, I shouldn't be able to hold my own. But as for the letter, the lady wrote it, and the Colonel, he received it." "That will do, Mr. Bozzle," said Trevelyan. "Shall I call again, Mr. Trewillian?" "No; yes. I'll send to you, when I want you.
But I thought it better, and I did have a word or two with the gent, just a word or two. He's not so very downy, isn't the Colonel; for one that's been at it so long, Mr. Trewillian." "I dare say not. But if you could just let me have the account, Mr. Bozzle, " "The account? Oh, yes; that is necessary; ain't it? These sort of inquiries do come a little expensive, Mr.
How Trevelyan hated the man as he went on with his odious details, details not one of which possessed the slightest importance. "It's all right, I dare say, Mr. Bozzle. And now about the account." "Quite so, Mr. Trewillian. But there was one question; just one question." "What question?" said Trevelyan, almost angrily. "And there's another thing I must tell you, too, Mr. Trewillian.
"Was let in at the front door on Friday the 5th, by Sarah French, the housemaid, at 10.37 a.m., and was let out again by the same young woman at 11.41 a.m. Perhaps you'd like to have a copy of the entry, Mr. Trewillian?" "No, no, no." "It doesn't matter. Of course it'll be with me when it's wanted. Who was with him, exactly, at that time, I can't say. There is things, Mr.
It's my business, and I finds 'em out. Mr. Trewillian can do as he likes about it. If it's right, why, then it is right. It ain't for me to say nothing about that. But there's the fact. The lady, she has wrote another letter; and the Colonel, why, he has received it. There ain't nothing wrong about the post-office.
Trewillian; but if I was hacting for the other party, and they said to me, 'Bozzle, where's the boy? why, in three days I'd be down on the facts. Facts is open, Mr. Trewillian, if you knows where to look for them." "I shall take him abroad, at once." "Think twice of it, Mr. T. The boy is so young, you see, and a mother's 'art is softer and lovinger than anything. I'd think twice of it, Mr.
You shall hear from me." "I suppose I'd better be keeping my eyes open about the Colonel's place, Mr. Trewillian?" "For God's sake, Trevelyan, do not have anything more to do with this man!" "That's all very well for you, Mr. S.," said Bozzle. "The lady ain't your wife." "Can you imagine anything more disgraceful than all this?" said Stanbury. "Nothing; nothing; nothing!" answered Trevelyan.
Trewillian; because time goes for so much; and when one has to be down on a thing, sharp, you know, and sure, so that counsel on the other side can't part you from it, though he shakes you like a dog does a rat, and one has to get oneself up ready for all that, you know, Mr. Trewillian, as I was saying, one can't count one's shillings when one has such a job as this in hand.
