‘
My
clerk
will
attend
to
any
business
you
may
have
come
upon
,
Mr
Brass
,
’
said
the
notary
,
turning
away
.
‘
Thank
you
Sir
,
’
said
Brass
,
‘
thank
you
,
I
am
sure
.
Allow
me
,
Sir
,
to
introduce
my
sister
—
quite
one
of
us
Sir
,
although
of
the
weaker
sex
—
of
great
use
in
my
business
Sir
,
I
assure
you
.
Mr
Richard
,
sir
,
have
the
goodness
to
come
foward
if
you
please
—
No
really
,
’
said
Brass
,
stepping
between
the
notary
and
his
private
office
(
towards
which
he
had
begun
to
retreat
)
,
and
speaking
in
the
tone
of
an
injured
man
,
‘
really
Sir
,
I
must
,
under
favour
,
request
a
word
or
two
with
you
,
indeed
.
’
‘
Mr
Brass
,
’
said
the
other
,
in
a
decided
tone
,
‘
I
am
engaged
.
You
see
that
I
am
occupied
with
these
gentlemen
.
If
you
will
communicate
your
business
to
Mr
Chuckster
yonder
,
you
will
receive
every
attention
.
’
‘
Gentlemen
,
’
said
Brass
,
laying
his
right
hand
on
his
waistcoat
,
and
looking
towards
the
father
and
son
with
a
smooth
smile
—
‘
Gentlemen
,
I
appeal
to
you
—
really
,
gentlemen
—
consider
,
I
beg
of
you
.
I
am
of
the
law
.
I
am
styled
“
gentleman
”
by
Act
of
Parliament
.
I
maintain
the
title
by
the
annual
payment
of
twelve
pound
sterling
for
a
certificate
.
I
am
not
one
of
your
players
of
music
,
stage
actors
,
writers
of
books
,
or
painters
of
pictures
,
who
assume
a
station
that
the
laws
of
their
country
don
’
t
recognise
.
I
am
none
of
your
strollers
or
vagabonds
.
If
any
man
brings
his
action
against
me
,
he
must
describe
me
as
a
gentleman
,
or
his
action
is
null
and
void
.
I
appeal
to
you
—
is
this
quite
respectful
?
Really
gentlemen
—
’
‘
Well
,
will
you
have
the
goodness
to
state
your
business
then
,
Mr
Brass
?
’
said
the
notary
.
‘
Sir
,
’
rejoined
Brass
,
‘
I
will
.
Ah
Mr
Witherden
!
you
little
know
the
—
but
I
will
not
be
tempted
to
travel
from
the
point
,
sir
,
I
believe
the
name
of
one
of
these
gentlemen
is
Garland
.
’
‘
Of
both
,
’
said
the
notary
.
‘
In
-
deed
!
’
rejoined
Brass
,
cringing
excessively
.
‘
But
I
might
have
known
that
,
from
the
uncommon
likeness
.
Extremely
happy
,
I
am
sure
,
to
have
the
honour
of
an
introduction
to
two
such
gentlemen
,
although
the
occasion
is
a
most
painful
one
.
One
of
you
gentlemen
has
a
servant
called
Kit
?
’
‘
Both
,
’
replied
the
notary
.
