"So you're looking after Charley Norton's business for him, are you ?" he added.
"He's a client of mine.

We have mutual friends, sir--I refer to Miss Malroy," the judge vouchsafed to explain.
"You're naming our best people, sir, when you name the Malroys and the Nortons; they are pretty much in a class by themselves," said Mr.Saul, whose awe of the judge was momentarily increasing.
"I don't underestimate the value of a social endorsement, sir, but I've never stood on that," observed the judge.

"I've come amongst you unheralded, but I expect you to find me out.

Now, sir, if you'll be good enough, I'll glance at the record." Mr.Saul scrambled up out of the depths of his chair and exerted himself in the judge's behalf.
"This is what you want, sir.

Better take the ledger to the window, the light in here ain't much." He drew forward a chair as he spoke, and the judge, seating himself, began to polish his spectacles with great deliberation.
