‘
You
are
right
,
’
said
Mr
Meagles
.
‘
But
he
has
been
ingenious
,
and
he
has
been
trying
to
turn
his
ingenuity
to
his
country
’
s
service
.
That
makes
him
a
public
offender
directly
,
sir
.
’
Arthur
looked
at
the
man
himself
,
who
only
shook
his
head
.
‘
This
Doyce
,
’
said
Mr
Meagles
,
‘
is
a
smith
and
engineer
.
He
is
not
in
a
large
way
,
but
he
is
well
known
as
a
very
ingenious
man
.
A
dozen
years
ago
,
he
perfects
an
invention
(
involving
a
very
curious
secret
process
)
of
great
importance
to
his
country
and
his
fellow
-
creatures
.
I
won
’
t
say
how
much
money
it
cost
him
,
or
how
many
years
of
his
life
he
had
been
about
it
,
but
he
brought
it
to
perfection
a
dozen
years
ago
.
Wasn
’
t
it
a
dozen
?
’
said
Mr
Meagles
,
addressing
Doyce
.
‘
He
is
the
most
exasperating
man
in
the
world
;
he
never
complains
!
’
‘
Yes
.
Rather
better
than
twelve
years
ago
.
’
‘
Rather
better
?
’
said
Mr
Meagles
,
‘
you
mean
rather
worse
.
Well
,
Mr
Clennam
,
he
addresses
himself
to
the
Government
.
The
moment
he
addresses
himself
to
the
Government
,
he
becomes
a
public
offender
!
Sir
,
’
said
Mr
Meagles
,
in
danger
of
making
himself
excessively
hot
again
,
‘
he
ceases
to
be
an
innocent
citizen
,
and
becomes
a
culprit
.
He
is
treated
from
that
instant
as
a
man
who
has
done
some
infernal
action
.
He
is
a
man
to
be
shirked
,
put
off
,
brow
-
beaten
,
sneered
at
,
handed
over
by
this
highly
-
connected
young
or
old
gentleman
,
to
that
highly
-
connected
young
or
old
gentleman
,
and
dodged
back
again
;
he
is
a
man
with
no
rights
in
his
own
time
,
or
his
own
property
;
a
mere
outlaw
,
whom
it
is
justifiable
to
get
rid
of
anyhow
;
a
man
to
be
worn
out
by
all
possible
means
.
’
It
was
not
so
difficult
to
believe
,
after
the
morning
’
s
experience
,
as
Mr
Meagles
supposed
.
‘
Don
’
t
stand
there
,
Doyce
,
turning
your
spectacle
-
case
over
and
over
,
’
cried
Mr
Meagles
,
‘
but
tell
Mr
Clennam
what
you
confessed
to
me
.
’
‘
I
undoubtedly
was
made
to
feel
,
’
said
the
inventor
,
‘
as
if
I
had
committed
an
offence
.
In
dancing
attendance
at
the
various
offices
,
I
was
always
treated
,
more
or
less
,
as
if
it
was
a
very
bad
offence
.
I
have
frequently
found
it
necessary
to
reflect
,
for
my
own
self
-
support
,
that
I
really
had
not
done
anything
to
bring
myself
into
the
Newgate
Calendar
,
but
only
wanted
to
effect
a
great
saving
and
a
great
improvement
.
’
‘
There
!
’
said
Mr
Meagles
.
‘
Judge
whether
I
exaggerate
.
Now
you
’
ll
be
able
to
believe
me
when
I
tell
you
the
rest
of
the
case
.
