As
I
have
also
,
I
assure
you
,
"
--
I
interrupted
quickly
--
"
Pray
do
me
the
favour
to
continue
managing
things
for
me
as
you
did
for
my
relative
,
and
be
assured
of
my
gratitude
in
advance
.
"
Both
little
men
bowed
again
,
and
this
time
Mr
Ellis
shook
hands
.
"
We
shall
do
our
best
for
you
,
Mr
Tempest
,
shall
we
not
Bentham
?
"
Bentham
nodded
gravely
.
"
And
now
what
do
you
say
--
shall
we
mention
it
Bentham
?
--
or
shall
we
not
mention
it
?
"
"
Perhaps
,
"
responded
Bentham
sententiously
--
"
it
would
be
as
well
to
mention
it
.
"
I
glanced
from
one
to
the
other
,
not
understanding
what
they
meant
.
Mr
Ellis
rubbed
his
hands
and
smiled
deprecatingly
.
"
The
fact
is
Mr
Tempest
,
your
deceased
relative
had
one
very
curious
idea
--
he
was
a
shrewd
man
and
a
clever
one
,
but
he
certainly
had
one
very
curious
idea
--
and
perhaps
if
he
had
followed
it
up
to
any
extent
,
it
might
--
yes
,
it
might
have
landed
him
in
a
lunatic
asylum
and
prevented
his
disposing
of
his
extensive
fortune
in
the
--
er
--
the
very
just
and
reasonable
manner
he
has
done
.
Happily
for
himself
and
--
er
--
for
you
,
he
did
not
follow
it
up
,
and
to
the
last
he
retained
his
admirable
business
qualities
and
high
sense
of
rectitude
.
But
I
do
not
think
he
ever
quite
dispossessed
himself
of
the
idea
itself
,
did
he
Bentham
?
"
Bentham
gazed
meditatively
at
the
round
black
mark
of
the
gas-burner
where
it
darkened
the
ceiling
.
"
I
think
not
--
no
,
I
think
not
,
"
he
answered
--
"
I
believe
he
was
perfectly
convinced
of
it
.
"
"
And
what
was
it
?
"
I
asked
,
getting
impatient
--
"
Did
he
want
to
bring
out
some
patent
?
--
a
new
notion
for
a
flying-machine
,
and
get
rid
of
his
money
in
that
way
?
