knowledge察is brought to a dead halt。 ̄
^No察 no察 my dear friend。 No察 no察 Mr George。 No察 no察 no察 sir察院
remonstrates Grandfather Smallweed察 cunningly rubbing his
spare legs。 ^Not quite a dead halt察 I think。 He has good friends察
and he is good for his pay察and he is good for the selling price of
his commission察and he is good for his chance in a lawsuit察and he
is good for his chance in a wife察and!oh察do you know察Mr George察
I think my friend would consider the young gentleman good for
something yet拭院 says Grandfather Smallweed察 turning up his
velvet cap察and scratching his ear like a monkey。
Mr George察who has put aside his pipe and sits with an arm on
his chair´back察beats a tattoo on the ground with his right foot察as
if he were not particularly pleased with the turn the conversation
had taken。

^But to pass from one subject to another察院 resumes Mr
Smallweed。 ^To promote the conversation察 as a joker might say。
To pass察Mr George察from the ensign to the captain。 ̄
^What are you up to察now拭院asked Mr George察 pausing with a
frown in stroking the recollection of his moustache。 ^What
captain拭院
^Our captain。 The captain we know of。 Captain Hawdon。 ̄
^O that¨s it察is it拭院 says Mr George察 with a low whistle察 as he
sees both grandfather and grand´daughter looking hard at him察
you are there Well拭what about it拭 Come察I won¨t be smothered
any more。 Speak 院
^My dear friend察院 returns the old man察 I was applied!Judy察
shake me up a little I was applied to察 yesterday察 about the
captain察and my opinion still is察that the captain is not dead。 ̄
^Bosh 院observes Mr George。
^What was your remark察my dear friend拭院inquires the old man
with his hand to his ear。
^Bosh 院
^Ho 院says Grandfather Smallweed。 ^Mr George察of my opinion
you can judge for yourself according to questions asked of me察and
the reasons given for asking ¨em。 Now察 what do you think the
lawyer making the inquiries wants拭院
^A job察院says Mr George。
^Nothing of the kind 院
^Can¨t be a lawyer察 then察院 says Mr George察 folding his arms
with an air of confirmed resolution。
^My dear friend察he is a lawyer and a famous one。 He wants to
see some fragment in Captain Hawdon¨s writing。 He don¨t want to
keep it。 He only wants to see it察and compare it with a writing in

his possession。 ̄
^Well拭院
^Well察 Mr George。 Happening to remember the advertisement
concerning Captain Hawdon察 and any information that could be
given respecting him察he looked it up and came to me!just as you
did察my dear friend。 Will you shake hands拭So glad you came察that
day。 I should have missed forming such a friendship察if you hadn¨t
come 院
^Well察 Mr Smallweed拭院 says Mr George again察 after going
through the ceremony with some stiffness。
^I had no such thing。 I have nothing but his signature。 Plague
pestilence and famine察 battle murder and sudden death upon
him察院 says the old man察 making a curse out of one of his few
remembrances of a prayer察 and squeezing up his velvet cap
between his angry hands察 I have half a million of his signatures察I
think But you察院breathlessly recovering his mildness of speech察as
Judy readjusts the cap on his skittle´ball of a head察 You察my dear
Mr George察are likely to have some letter or paper that would suit
the purpose。 Anything would suit the purpose察 written in the
hand。 ̄
^Some writing in that hand察院says the trooper察pondering察 may
be察I have。 ̄
^My dearest friend 院
^May be察I have not。 ̄
^Ho 院says Grandfather Smallweed察crestfallen。
^But if I had bushels of it察I would not show as much as would
make a cartridge察without knowing why。 ̄
^Sir察I have told you why。 My dear Mr George察I have told you
why。 ̄

^Not enough察院says the trooper察shaking his head。 ^I must know
more察and approve it。 ̄
^Then察 will you come to the lawyer拭 My dear friend察 will you
come and see the gentleman拭院 urges Grandfather Smallweed察
pulling out a lean old silver watch察 with hands like the legs of a
skeleton。 ^I told him it was probable I might call upon him察
between ten and eleven this forenoon察and it¨s now half after ten。
^Will you come and see the gentleman察Mr George拭院
^Hum 院says he察 gravely。 ^I don¨t mind that。 Though why this
should concern you so much察I don¨t know。 ̄
^Everything concerns me察 that has a chance in it of bringing
anything to light about him。 Didn¨t he take us all in拭Didn¨t he owe
us immense sums察 all round拭 Concern me拭 Who can anything
about him concern察 more than me拭 Not察 my dear friend察院 says
Grandfather Smallweed察 lowering his tone察 that I want you to
betray anything。 Far from it。 Are you ready to come察 my dear
friend拭院
^Ay I¨ll come in a moment。 I promise nothing察you know。 ̄
^No察my dear Mr George察no。 ̄
^And you mean to say you¨re going to give me a lift to this place察
wherever it is察 without charging for it拭院 Mr George inquires察
getting his hat察and thick wash´leather gloves。
This pleasantry so tickles Mr Smallweed察 that he laughs long
and low察before the fire。 But even while he laughs察he glances over
his paralytic shoulder at Mr George察 and eagerly watches him as
he unlocks the padlock of a homely cupboard at the distant end of
the gallery察 looks here and there upon the higher shelves察 and
ultimately takes something out with a rustling of paper察 folds it察
and puts it in his breast。 Then Judy pokes Mr Smallweed once察

and Mr Smallweed pokes Judy once。
^I am ready察院 says the trooper察 coming back。 ^Phil察 you can
carry this old gentleman to his coach察and make nothing of him。 ̄
^O dear me O Lord Stop a moment 院 says Mr Smallweed。
^He¨s so very prompt Are you sure you can do it carefully察 my
worthy man拭院
Phil makes no reply察 but察seizing the chair and its load察 sidles
away察 tightly hugged by the now speechless Mr Smallweed察 and
bolts along the passage as if he had an acceptable commission to
carry the old gentleman to the nearest volcano。 His shorter trust察
however察 terminating at the cab察 he deposits him there察 and the
fair Judy takes her pla
