Ask him, sir; ask him.
GILMAN. I said to my wife at the time, "He's holdin' out for a
baronetcy."
GRAVITER Closes the door with an exasperated smile.
YOUNG CLERK. [Opening the door, Left Forward] Mr WINSOR, sir, and Miss
Orme.
They enter, and the CLERK withdraws.
GRAVITER. How d'you do, Miss Orme? How do you do, WINSOR?
WINSOR. Twisden not back, Graviter?
GRAVITER. Not yet.
WINSOR. Well, they've got through De Levis's witnesses. Sir Frederick
was at the very top of his form. It's looking quite well. But I hear
they've just subpoenaed Canynge after all. His evidence is to be taken
to-morrow.
GRAVITER. Oho!
WINSOR. I said Dancy ought to have called him.
GRAVITER. We considered it. Sir Frederic decided that he could use him
better in cross-examination.
WINSOR. Well! I don't know that. Can I go and see him before he gives
evidence to-morrow?
GRAVITER. I should like to hear Mr Jacob on that, WINSOR. He'll be in
directly.
WINSOR. They had Kentman, and Goole, the Inspector, the other bobby, my
footman, Dancy's banker, and his tailor.
GRAVITER. Did we shake Kentman or Goole?
WINSOR. Very little. Oh! by the way, the numbers of those two notes
were given, and I see they're published in the evening papers.
