Not
unless
I
am
compelled
to
take
action
on
the
Power
of
Attorney
.
I
have
brought
that
instrument
with
me
.
You
will
recognise
,
Mr.
Ross
"
--
he
said
this
with
a
sort
of
business
conviction
which
I
had
noticed
in
his
professional
work
,
as
he
handed
me
the
deed
--
"
how
strongly
it
is
worded
,
and
how
the
grantor
made
his
wishes
apparent
in
such
a
way
as
to
leave
no
loophole
.
It
is
his
own
wording
,
except
for
certain
legal
formalities
;
and
I
assure
you
I
have
seldom
seen
a
more
iron-clad
document
.
Even
I
myself
have
no
power
to
make
the
slightest
relaxation
of
the
instructions
,
without
committing
a
distinct
breach
of
faith
.
And
that
,
I
need
not
tell
you
,
is
impossible
.
"
He
evidently
added
the
last
words
in
order
to
prevent
an
appeal
to
his
personal
consideration
.
He
did
not
like
the
seeming
harshness
of
his
words
,
however
,
for
he
added
:
"
I
do
hope
,
Miss
Trelawny
,
that
you
understand
that
I
am
willing
--
frankly
and
unequivocally
willing
--
to
do
anything
I
can
,
within
the
limits
of
my
power
,
to
relieve
your
distress
.
But
your
Father
had
,
in
all
his
doings
,
some
purpose
of
his
own
which
he
did
not
disclose
to
me
.
So
far
as
I
can
see
,
there
is
not
a
word
of
his
instructions
that
he
had
not
thought
over
fully
.
Whatever
idea
he
had
in
his
mind
was
the
idea
of
a
lifetime
;
he
had
studied
it
in
every
possible
phase
,
and
was
prepared
to
guard
it
at
every
point
.
"
Now
I
fear
I
have
distressed
you
,
and
I
am
truly
sorry
for
it
;
for
I
see
you
have
much
--
too
much
--
to
bear
already
.
But
I
have
no
alternative
.
If
you
want
to
consult
me
at
any
time
about
anything
,
I
promise
you
I
will
come
without
a
moment
's
delay
,
at
any
hour
of
the
day
or
night
.
There
is
my
private
address
,
"
he
scribbled
in
his
pocket-book
as
he
spoke
,
"
and
under
it
the
address
of
my
club
,
where
I
am
generally
to
be
found
in
the
evening
.
"
He
tore
out
the
paper
and
handed
it
to
her
.
She
thanked
him
.
He
shook
hands
with
her
and
with
me
and
withdrew
.
As
soon
as
the
hall
door
was
shut
on
him
,
Mrs.
Grant
tapped
at
the
door
and
came
in
.
There
was
such
a
look
of
distress
in
her
face
that
Miss
Trelawny
stood
up
,
deadly
white
,
and
asked
her
:
"
What
is
it
,
Mrs.
Grant
?
What
is
it
?
Any
new
trouble
?
"
"
I
grieve
to
say
,
miss
,
that
the
servants
,
all
but
two
,
have
given
notice
and
want
to
leave
the
house
today
.
They
have
talked
the
matter
over
among
themselves
;
the
butler
has
spoken
for
the
rest
.
He
says
as
how
they
are
willing
to
forego
their
wages
,
and
even
to
pay
their
legal
obligations
instead
of
notice
;
but
that
go
today
they
must
.
"
"
What
reason
do
they
give
?
"
"
None
,
miss
.
They
say
as
how
they
're
sorry
,
but
that
they
've
nothing
to
say
I
asked
Jane
,
the
upper
housemaid
,
miss
,
who
is
not
with
the
rest
but
stops
on
;
and
she
tells
me
confidential
that
they
've
got
some
notion
in
their
silly
heads
that
the
house
is
haunted
!
