one after one
And Oliver came down to particulars -- he named these powerful men , one after one , and showed what they could do . If his brother would only be a man of the world , and see the thing ! Look at all the successful lawyers ! Oliver named them , one after one -- shrewd devisers of corporation trickery , with incomes of hundreds of thousands a year . He could not name the men who had refused to play the game -- for no one had ever heard of them . But it was so evident what would happen in this case ! His friends would cast him off ; his own client would get his price -- whatever it was -- and then leave him in the lurch , and laugh at him !
