An
average
witness
would
have
been
seduced
by
the
Humph
?
into
an
affirmative
answer
,
But
Ferdinand
Barnacle
looked
knowingly
at
Bar
as
he
strolled
up
-
stairs
,
and
gave
him
no
answer
at
all
.
‘
Just
so
,
just
so
,
’
said
Bar
,
nodding
his
head
,
for
he
was
not
to
be
put
off
in
that
way
,
‘
and
therefore
I
spoke
of
our
sitting
in
Banco
to
take
a
special
argument
—
meaning
this
to
be
a
high
and
solemn
occasion
,
when
,
as
Captain
Macheath
says
,
“
the
judges
are
met
:
a
terrible
show
!
”
We
lawyers
are
sufficiently
liberal
,
you
see
,
to
quote
the
Captain
,
though
the
Captain
is
severe
upon
us
.
Nevertheless
,
I
think
I
could
put
in
evidence
an
admission
of
the
Captain
’
s
,
’
said
Bar
,
with
a
little
jocose
roll
of
his
head
;
for
,
in
his
legal
current
of
speech
,
he
always
assumed
the
air
of
rallying
himself
with
the
best
grace
in
the
world
;
‘
an
admission
of
the
Captain
’
s
that
Law
,
in
the
gross
,
is
at
least
intended
to
be
impartial
.
For
what
says
the
Captain
,
if
I
quote
him
correctly
—
and
if
not
,
’
with
a
light
-
comedy
touch
of
his
double
eye
-
glass
on
his
companion
’
s
shoulder
,
‘
my
learned
friend
will
set
me
right
:
“
Since
laws
were
made
for
every
degree
,
To
curb
vice
in
others
as
well
as
in
me
,
I
wonder
we
ha
’
n
’
t
better
company
Upon
Tyburn
Tree
!
”
’
These
words
brought
them
to
the
drawing
-
room
,
where
Mr
Merdle
stood
before
the
fire
.
So
immensely
astounded
was
Mr
Merdle
by
the
entrance
of
Bar
with
such
a
reference
in
his
mouth
,
that
Bar
explained
himself
to
have
been
quoting
Gay
.
‘
Assuredly
not
one
of
our
Westminster
Hall
authorities
,
’
said
he
,
‘
but
still
no
despicable
one
to
a
man
possessing
the
largely
-
practical
Mr
Merdle
’
s
knowledge
of
the
world
.
’
Mr
Merdle
looked
as
if
he
thought
he
would
say
something
,
but
subsequently
looked
as
if
he
thought
he
wouldn
’
t
.
The
interval
afforded
time
for
Bishop
to
be
announced
.
Bishop
came
in
with
meekness
,
and
yet
with
a
strong
and
rapid
step
as
if
he
wanted
to
get
his
seven
-
league
dress
-
shoes
on
,
and
go
round
the
world
to
see
that
everybody
was
in
a
satisfactory
state
.
Bishop
had
no
idea
that
there
was
anything
significant
in
the
occasion
.
That
was
the
most
remarkable
trait
in
his
demeanour
.
