When you have done all that is to be done at Dewsdale, your next work must be to hunt up any scion of the lawyer Brice, if such scion be in existence at Ullerton.

Or if not to be found in Ullerton, ascertain where the descendant, or decendants, of Brice is, or are, to be found.
Brice, the lawyer, must have known the contents of those wills executed and afterwards destroyed by Haygarth, and may have kept rough draughts, copies, or memoranda of the same.

I started for Dewidale immediately after my breakfast.

I have made arrangements for boarding in this house, which is a second-rate commercial inn.

They have agreed to give me board and lodging for twenty shillings a week--the full amount of my stipend: so all that I gain by my researches in the affairs of the departed Matthew is food and shelter.
