"He seems to follow you pretty close." "Not so close as you do, by George; and perhaps he has something to get by it, which you haven't." "Come, come, come! If he have more to get than I he mush be pretty deep. There is Mishter Tyrrwhit. No one have more to get than I, only Mishter Tyrrwhit.
And it will have been an act concerning his son and not concerning you." "Not concerning me!" shrieked Mr. Tyrrwhit. "Certainly not, legally. You are not in a position to prove that he knew that his son was borrowing money from you on the credit of the estate. As a fact he certainly did not know it." "We shall see about that," said Mr. Tyrrwhit. "Then you must see about it, but not with my aid.
And then there was another matter which was also very grievous to him. If it were as he now stated, if the squire had been guilty of this fraud, to what punishment would he be subjected? Mountjoy was declared to have been innocent. Mr. Tyrrwhit, as he put the case to his own lawyers, laughed bitterly as he made this suggestion. And Augustus was, of course, innocent.
But on the occasion to which we are about to allude the door of the premises was closed, and the boy was kept on the alert posting, or perhaps delivering, the circulars which were continually issued. This was the place of business affected by Mr. Tyrrwhit, or at any rate one of them. Who were Gurney & Malcolmson it is not necessary that our chronicle should tell.
"Why don't we go and lug the old sinner into prison?" said Evans & Crooke. "Certainly that's the game," said Juniper, and there was another loud acclamation of applause from the entire room. "Gentlemen, you don't know what you're talking about, you don't indeed," said Tyrrwhit. "I don't believe as we do," said Spicer. "You can't touch the old gentleman.
Mountjoy had been left in possession, and, according to all the evidence now before them, was the true owner. Of course he would want a lawyer, and, as Mr. Barry said, would be very well able to pay for what he wanted. It was necessary that the firm should protect themselves against the vindictiveness of Mr. Tyrrwhit and Samuel Hart.
Tyrrwhit of his just claim. Mr. Tyrrwhit, who on one occasion made his way into Mr, Grey's presence, wished to get an answer to that question from Mr. Grey. "The man is dying," said Mr. Grey, solemnly. "Dying! He is not more likely to die than you are, from all I hear." At this time rumors of Mr. Scarborough's improved health had reached the creditors in London. Mr.
It was so that Augustus believed; this was the theory existing in his mind. That his father should have been so clever, and Mr. Grey so blind, and even Mr. Hart and Mr. Tyrrwhit so easily hoodwinked, was remarkable. But so it was, or might probably be so. He felt no assurance, but there was ever present to him the feeling of great danger.
Mr. Juniper also was there. He took a seat at one corner of the table, and did not say much. There was also a man who, in speaking of himself and his own affairs, always called himself Evans & Crooke. And there was one Spicer, who sat silent for the most part, and looked very fierce. In all matters, however, he appeared to agree with Mr. Tyrrwhit.
Even Hart, who was younger than the others, was fat and short, and already showed that he would have to halt if he made many speeches. "Barry be d d!" exclaimed Hart. "You see how it is, Captain Scarborough," said Tyrrwhit; "Your father, as has just been laid to rest in hopes of a a happy resurrection, was a very peculiar gentleman."
