My
name
is
Briggs
,
a
solicitor
of
--
Street
,
London
.
"
"
And
you
would
thrust
on
me
a
wife
?
"
"
I
would
remind
you
of
your
lady
's
existence
,
sir
,
which
the
law
recognises
,
if
you
do
not
.
"
"
Favour
me
with
an
account
of
her
--
with
her
name
,
her
parentage
,
her
place
of
abode
.
"
"
Certainly
.
"
Mr.
Briggs
calmly
took
a
paper
from
his
pocket
,
and
read
out
in
a
sort
of
official
,
nasal
voice
:
-
"
'
I
affirm
and
can
prove
that
on
the
20th
of
October
A.
D.
--
(
a
date
of
fifteen
years
back
)
,
Edward
Fairfax
Rochester
,
of
Thornfield
Hall
,
in
the
county
of
--
and
of
Ferndean
Manor
,
in
--
shire
,
England
,
was
married
to
my
sister
,
Bertha
Antoinetta
Mason
,
daughter
of
Jonas
Mason
,
merchant
,
and
of
Antoinetta
his
wife
,
a
Creole
,
at
--
church
,
Spanish
Town
,
Jamaica
.
The
record
of
the
marriage
will
be
found
in
the
register
of
that
church
--
a
copy
of
it
is
now
in
my
possession
.
Signed
,
Richard
Mason

"
That
--
if
a
genuine
document
--
may
prove
I
have
been
married
,
but
it
does
not
prove
that
the
woman
mentioned
therein
as
my
wife
is
still
living
.
"
"
She
was
living
three
months
ago
,
"
returned
the
lawyer
.
"
How
do
you
know
?
"
"
I
have
a
witness
to
the
fact
,
whose
testimony
even
you
,
sir
,
will
scarcely
controvert
.
