Latterly, being bound as he was to follow the matter up officially, he would not have seen Mrs.Crawley, had he been able to escape that lady's importunity.
"Mr.Walker," she had said, at last, "you do not know my husband.
No one knows him but I.It is hard to have to tell you of all our troubles." "If I can lessen them, trust me that I will do so," said the lawyer.

"No one, I think, can lessen them in this world," said the lady.

"The truth is, sir, that my husband often knows not what he says.

When he declared that the money had been paid to him by Mr.
Soames, most certainly he thought so.

There are times when in his misery he knows not what he says,--when he forgets everything." Up to this period Mr.Walker had not suspected Mr.Crawley of anything dishonest, nor did he suspect him as yet.
