Ralph Mainwaring, having felt slightly indisposed, and knowing that his side would not come up for hearing until the following day, had made himself as comfortable as possible in the elegant apartments which he had appropriated to his own use, while his son had left the court-room at an early hour to devote the remainder of the afternoon to letter-writing.
Do you think that this Harold Mainwaring, or those possible heirs you mention, would put in an appearance personally, or that they would work through agents and emissaries?" "Depends altogether upon circumstances. Harold Mainwaring would not be likely to appear on the scene unless he were pretty effectually disguised.
Sutherland, with marked emphasis, "please state whether you mentioned to Hugh Mainwaring the discovery of the will, or had any conversation with him relating thereto." "I made no mention of the matter to him whatever.
Chittenden, the latter drew him aside into an alcove. "I say, my dear Mainwaring, are you aware that your esteemed kinsman has you under strict surveillance?" Mainwaring smiled, though his eyes flashed. "I am aware that he has made statements to that effect, although, thus far, his 'surveillance' has interfered in no way either with my duties or pleasures, nor do I apprehend that it will."
"I did not suppose the man was in this country!"

To this her friend at once consented.
"Did he leave his name or address?" "His card bore the name of J. Henry Carruthers, of London. He gave his present address as the Arlington House." "You noticed nothing unusual in his appearance?" "The only thing that struck me as rather peculiar was that Mr. Carruthers seemed well informed regarding events expected to take place here, while his name was wholly unfamiliar to Mr. Mainwaring."
But the next moment he turned kindly to Mainwaring, and began to deplore the necessity of his early departure, which Richardson had already made known to him with practical and satisfying reasons.
Hugh paused and glanced anxiously into his cousin's face, but the frank, brotherly kindness which he read there reassured him. "My dear cousin," said Harold, warmly, "nothing that Ralph Mainwaring can ever say or do shall make any difference between us. There are but two contingencies in this connection that I regret." "And those are what?" the younger man questioned eagerly.
