Can you at all say when Mr.Tudor may probably get his money ?' 'I am not at present prepared to name a day.

When the money was lent it was not intended that it should be repaid at an early day.' 'Oh! Mr.Tudor did not want his money at an early day--didn't he?
But, nevertheless, he has, I believe, asked for it since, and that very pressingly ?' 'He has never asked for it,' said Undy.
'Allow me to remind you, Mr.Scott, that I have the power of putting my client into that witness-box, although he is on his trial; and, having so reminded you, let me again beg you to say whether he has not asked you for repayment of this large sum of money very pressingly.' 'No; he has never done so.' 'By the value of your oath, sir--if it has any value--did not my client beseech you to allow these shares to be sold while they were yet saleable, in order that your niece's trust money might be replaced in the English funds ?' 'He said something as to the expediency of selling them, and I differed from him.' 'You thought it would be better for the lady's interest that they should remain unsold ?' 'I made no question of the lady's interest.

I was not her trustee.' 'But the shares were bought with the lady's money.' 'What shares ?' asked Undy.
'What shares, sir?
Those shares which you had professed to hold on the lady's behalf, and which afterwards you did not scruple to call your own.

Those shares of yours--since you have the deliberate dishonesty so to call them--those shares of yours, were they not bought with the lady's money ?' 'They were bought with the money which I borrowed from Mr.
Tudor.' 'And where did Mr.Tudor get that money ?' 'That is a question you must ask himself,' said Undy.
'It is a question, sir, that just at present I prefer to ask you.
Now, sir, be good enough to tell the jury, whence Mr.Tudor got that money; or tell them, if you dare do so, that you do not know.' Undy for a minute remained silent, and Mr.Chaffanbrass remained silent also.

But if the fury of his tongue for a moment was at rest, that of his eyes was as active as ever.
