If
he
had
not
been
a
very
young
lawyer
,
with
a
very
enterprising
mind
and
a
great
deal
of
spare
time
on
his
hands
,
he
might
not
have
been
so
readily
interested
in
what
they
had
to
say
,
for
it
all
certainly
sounded
very
wild
and
queer
;
but
he
chanced
to
want
something
to
do
very
much
,
and
he
chanced
to
know
Dick
,
and
Dick
chanced
to
say
his
say
in
a
very
sharp
,
telling
sort
of
way
.
“
And
,
”
said
Mr
.
Hobbs
,
“
say
what
your
time
’
s
worth
a
’
hour
and
look
into
this
thing
thorough
,
and
I
’
LL
pay
the
damage

and

.
”
“
Well
,
”
said
Mr
.
Harrison
,
“
it
will
be
a
big
thing
if
it
turns
out
all
right
,
and
it
will
be
almost
as
big
a
thing
for
me
as
for
Lord
Fauntleroy
;
and
,
at
any
rate
,
no
harm
can
be
done
by
investigating
.
It
appears
there
has
been
some
dubiousness
about
the
child
.
The
woman
contradicted
herself
in
some
of
her
statements
about
his
age
,
and
aroused
suspicion
.
The
first
persons
to
be
written
to
are
Dick
’
s
brother
and
the
Earl
of
Dorincourt
’
s
family
lawyer
”
And
actually
,
before
the
sun
went
down
,
two
letters
had
been
written
and
sent
in
two
different
directions
—
one
speeding
out
of
New
York
harbor
on
a
mail
steamer
on
its
way
to
England
,
and
the
other
on
a
train
carrying
letters
and
passengers
bound
for
California
.
And
the
first
was
addressed
to
T
.
Havisham
,
Esq
.
,
and
the
second
to
Benjamin
Tipton
.
And
after
the
store
was
closed
that
evening
,
Mr
.
Hobbs
and
Dick
sat
in
the
back
-
room
and
talked
together
until
midnight
.
It
is
astonishing
how
short
a
time
it
takes
for
very
wonderful
things
to
happen
.
It
had
taken
only
a
few
minutes
,
apparently
,
to
change
all
the
fortunes
of
the
little
boy
dangling
his
red
legs
from
the
high
stool
in
Mr
.
Hobbs
’
s
store
,
and
to
transform
him
from
a
small
boy
,
living
the
simplest
life
in
a
quiet
street
,
into
an
English
nobleman
,
the
heir
to
an
earldom
and
magnificent
wealth
.
It
had
taken
only
a
few
minutes
,
apparently
,
to
change
him
from
an
English
nobleman
into
a
penniless
little
impostor
,
with
no
right
to
any
of
the
splendors
he
had
been
enjoying
.
And
,
surprising
as
it
may
appear
,
it
did
not
take
nearly
so
long
a
time
as
one
might
have
expected
,
to
alter
the
face
of
everything
again
and
to
give
back
to
him
all
that
he
had
been
in
danger
of
losing
.
It
took
the
less
time
because
,
after
all
,
the
woman
who
had
called
herself
Lady
Fauntleroy
was
not
nearly
so
clever
as
she
was
wicked
;
and
when
she
had
been
closely
pressed
by
Mr
.
Havisham
’
s
questions
about
her
marriage
and
her
boy
,
she
had
made
one
or
two
blunders
which
had
caused
suspicion
to
be
awakened
;
and
then
she
had
lost
her
presence
of
mind
and
her
temper
,
and
in
her
excitement
and
anger
had
betrayed
herself
still
further
.
All
the
mistakes
she
made
were
about
her
child
.
There
seemed
no
doubt
that
she
had
been
married
to
Bevis
,
Lord
Fauntleroy
,
and
had
quarreled
with
him
and
had
been
paid
to
keep
away
from
him
;
but
Mr
.
Havisham
found
out
that
her
story
of
the
boy
’
s
being
born
in
a
certain
part
of
London
was
false
;
and
just
when
they
all
were
in
the
midst
of
the
commotion
caused
by
this
discovery
,
there
came
the
letter
from
the
young
lawyer
in
New
York
,
and
Mr
.
Hobbs
’
s
letters
also
.
What
an
evening
it
was
when
those
letters
arrived
,
and
when
Mr
.
Havisham
and
the
Earl
sat
and
talked
their
plans
over
in
the
library
!
