If you take the money and then spoil my scheme, you will find it has been useless dishonesty.

To-morrow, in any case, the facts will be made public." Northway glanced at him ill-humouredly.
"You needn't be so anxious about my honesty, Mr.Marks.But I should like to be made a little surer that you have been telling me the truth.
How do I know that my wife is really living as you say?
It seems to me I ought to have a sight of her before I go talking to magistrates." Glazzard reflected.
"Nobody," pursued the other, "would make such a charge just on hearsay evidence.

It would only be common sense for me to see her first." "That objection is reasonable.

If you knew how well-assured I am of this lady's identity, you would understand why your view of the matter never occurred to me.

You must say that you _have_ seen her, that's all--seen her coming out of her house." But Northway was still unsatisfied.
