It was in the course of a conversation I had with Mr.Barker, the other day--" "I thought so," interrupted the Englishman.

"I thought Mr.Barker was at the bottom of it.

Will you please to deliver a message to Mr.Barker, with my compliments ?" Screw nodded solemnly, as under protest.
"Then be kind enough to tell him from me that he is a most infernal blackguard.

That if he attempts to carry this abominable plot any further I will post him at every one of his clubs as a liar and a cheat, and--and that he had better keep out of my way.

As for you, sir, I would advise you to look into his character, for I perceive that you are an honest man." "I am obliged to you, sir," said Mr.Screw, with something of a sneer.
"But who are you, pray, that ventures to call my clients by such ugly names ?" "There is my card--you can see for yourself," said the Duke.
