But this was just at the time that Mr.Tudor became the lady's trustee; I think you have admitted that.' 'It may have been about the time.' 'Yes; it may have been about the time, as you justly observe, Mr.
Scott.

Luckily, you know, we have the dates of the two transactions.
But it never occurred to your innocent mind that the money which you got into your hands was a part of the lady's fortune; that never occurred to your innocent mind--eh, Mr.Scott ?' 'I don't know that my mind is a more innocent mind than your own,' said Undy.
'I dare say not.

Well, did the idea ever occur to your guilty mind ?' 'Perhaps my mind is not more guilty than your own, either.' 'Then may God help me,' said Mr.Chaffanbrass, 'for I must be at a bad pass.

You told us just now, Mr.Scott, that some time since Mr.Tudor advised you to sell these shares--what made him give you this advice ?' 'He meant, he said, to sell his own.' 'And he pressed you to sell yours ?' 'Yes.' 'He urged you to do so more than once ?' 'Yes; I believe he did.' 'And now, Mr.Scott, can you explain to the jury why he was so solicitous that you should dispose of your property ?' 'I do not know why he should have done so, unless he wanted back his money.' 'Then he did ask for his own money ?' 'No; he never asked for it.

But if I had sold the shares perhaps he might have asked for it.' 'Oh!' said Mr.Chaffanbrass; and as he uttered the monosyllable he looked up at the jury, and gently shook his head, and gently shook his hands.
