Captain Val , also , was in that disagreeable position , that he did not know what Undy had confessed , and what denied . So he , also , refused to answer the questions of Mr. Chaffanbrass , saying that he might possibly damage himself should he do so . This was enough for Mr. Chaffanbrass , and then his work was done . At eight o'clock the court again adjourned ; again Charley posted off -- for the third time that day -- to let Gertrude know that , even as yet , all was not over ; and again he and Alaric spent a melancholy evening at the neighbouring tavern ; and then , again , on the third morning , all were re-assembled at the Old Bailey . Or rather they were not all re-assembled . But few came now , and they were those who were obliged to come . The crack piece of the trial , that portion to which , among the connoisseurs , the interest was attached , that was all over .
