Charles
Augustus
Milverton
was
a
man
of
fifty
,
with
a
large
,
intellectual
head
,
a
round
,
plump
,
hairless
face
,
a
perpetual
frozen
smile
,
and
two
keen
grey
eyes
,
which
gleamed
brightly
from
behind
broad
,
gold
-
rimmed
glasses
.
There
was
something
of
Mr
.
Pickwick
’
s
benevolence
in
his
appearance
,
marred
only
by
the
insincerity
of
the
fixed
smile
and
by
the
hard
glitter
of
those
restless
and
penetrating
eyes
.
His
voice
was
as
smooth
and
suave
as
his
countenance
,
as
he
advanced
with
a
plump
little
hand
extended
,
murmuring
his
regret
for
having
missed
us
at
his
first
visit
.
Holmes
disregarded
the
outstretched
hand
and
looked
at
him
with
a
face
of
granite
.
Milverton
’
s
smile
broadened
,
he
shrugged
his
shoulders
removed
his
overcoat
,
folded
it
with
great
deliberation
over
the
back
of
a
chair
,
and
then
took
a
seat
.
“
This
gentleman
?
”
said
he
,
with
a
wave
in
my
direction
.
“
Is
it
discreet
?
Is
it
right
?
”
“
Dr
.
Watson
is
my
friend
and
partner
.
”
“
Very
good
,
Mr
.
Holmes
.
It
is
only
in
your
client
’
s
interests
that
I
protested
.
The
matter
is
so
very
delicate
—
—
”
“
Dr
.
Watson
has
already
heard
of
it
.
”
“
Then
we
can
proceed
to
business
.
You
say
that
you
are
acting
for
Lady
Eva
.
Has
she
empowered
you
to
accept
my
terms
?
”
“
What
are
your
terms
?
”
“
Seven
thousand
pounds
.
”
“
And
the
alternative
?
”
“
My
dear
sir
,
it
is
painful
for
me
to
discuss
it
,
but
if
the
money
is
not
paid
on
the
14th
,
there
certainly
will
be
no
marriage
on
the
18th
.
