I must not confuse them with experiences which will have to rest on my own observation, or my memory of them.

Last evening when the Count came from his room he began by asking me questions on legal matters and on the doing of certain kinds of business.

I had spent the day wearily over books, and, simply to keep my mind occupied, went over some of the matters I had been examined in at Lincoln's Inn.

There was a certain method in the Count's inquiries, so I shall try to put them down in sequence.

The knowledge may somehow or some time be useful to me.
First, he asked if a man in England might have two solicitors or more.
I told him he might have a dozen if he wished, but that it would not be wise to have more than one solicitor engaged in one transaction, as only one could act at a time, and that to change would be certain to militate against his interest.
