`` And now , '' said Mr. Stryver , shaking his forensic forefinger at the Temple in general , when it was down , `` my way out of this , is , to put you all in the wrong . '' It was a bit of the art of an Old Bailey tactician , in which he found great relief . `` You shall not put me in the wrong , young lady , '' said Mr. Stryver ; `` I 'll do that for you . '' Accordingly , when Mr. Lorry called that night as late as ten o'clock , Mr. Stryver , among a quantity of books and papers littered out for the purpose , seemed to have nothing less on his mind than the subject of the morning . He even showed surprise when he saw Mr. Lorry , and was altogether in an absent and preoccupied state . `` Well ! '' said that good-natured emissary , after a full half-hour of bootless attempts to bring him round to the question .
