peacey goes, lifting his eyebrow at the queerness of edward's manner. This mr. voysey sees, returning to his table with a little scowl.
mr. voysey. Now sit down. I've given you a bad forty-eight hours, it seems. Well, I've been anxious about you. Never mind, we'll thresh the thing out now. Go through the two accounts. Mrs. Murberry's first . . how do you find it stands?
edward. [his feelings choking him.] I hoped you were playing some trick on me.
mr. voysey. Come now.
edward separates the papers precisely and starts to detail them; his voice quite toneless. Now and then his father's sharp comments ring out in contrast.
edward. We've got the lease of her present house, several agreements . . and here's her will. Here's also a sometime expired power of attorney over her securities and her property generally . . it was for six months.
mr. voysey. She was in South Africa.
edward. Here's the Sheffield mortgage and the Henry Smith mortgage with Banker's receipts . . hers to us for the interest up to date . . four and a half and five per cent. Then . . Fretworthy Bonds. There's a memorandum in your writing that they are at the Bank; but you didn't say what Bank.
mr. voysey. My own . . Stukeley's.
