At the end of the two years he made himself a position out of Court.

He appeared as "Junior" in "a famous case," in which the honor of a great family, and the title to a great estate were concerned.

His "Senior" fell ill on the eve of the trial.
He conducted the case for the defendant and won it.

The defendant said, "What can I do for you ?" Mr.Delamayn answered, "Put me into Parliament." Being a landed gentleman, the defendant had only to issue the necessary orders--and behold, Mr.Delamayn was in Parliament! In the House of Commons the new member and Mr.Vanborough met again.
They sat on the same bench, and sided with the same party.

Mr.Delamayn noticed that Mr.Vanborough was looking old and worn and gray.
