"Ryle's?"
"No — Mr. Eversham's case."
"How does Ryle's business get on?"
"Very satisfactorily. I've got light upon that now."
"What's the last thing done?"
"The last thing I did was to file a replication, bringing the cause to an issue for proofs; and proofs are now taking before an Examiner."
"You have succeeded in every step in that cause?"
"In every step."
"The steps must have been well taken."
