MR.

AND MISS GREY.
It was now the middle of October, and it may be said that from the time in which old Mr.Scarborough had declared his intention of showing that the elder of his sons had no right to the property, Mr.Grey, the lawyer, had been so occupied with the Scarborough affairs as to have had left him hardly a moment for other considerations.
He had a partner, who during these four months had, in fact, carried on the business.

One difficulty had grown out of another till Mr.Grey's whole time had been occupied; and all his thoughts had been filled with Mr.Scarborough, which is a matter of much greater moment to a man than the loss of his time.

The question of Mountjoy Scarborough's position had been first submitted to him in June.

October had now been reached and Mr.Grey had been out of town only for a fortnight, during which fortnight he had been occupied entirely in unravelling the mystery.
