With Bearside he was fairly satisfied, thinking however that the man was much more illiterate and ignorant than the general run of lawyers in the United States; but with Goarly he was by no means satisfied.

Goarly endeavoured to keep out of his way and could not be induced to come to him at the Bush.
Three times he walked out to the house near Dillsborough Wood, on each of which occasions Mrs.Goarly pestered him for money, and told him at great length the history of her forlorn goose.

Scrobby, of whom he had heard, he could not see at all; and he found that Bearside was very unwilling to say anything about Scrobby.

Scrobby, and the red herrings and the strychnine and the dead fox were, according to Bearside, to be kept quite distinct from the pheasants and the wheat.

Bearside declared over and over again that there was no evidence to connect his client with the demise of the fox.
