`` I am going to leave your house , ma'am ; and I wish to settle any little arrears of rent , & c. '' `` O sir ! do n't mention it , '' said the landlady ; and , as she spoke , she took a piece of paper from her bosom , very neatly folded , and laid it on the table . `` And here , sir , '' she added , taking from the same depository a card , -- `` here is the card left by the gentleman who saw to the funeral . He called half an hour ago , and bade me say , with his compliments , that he would wait on you to-morrow at eleven o'clock . So I hope you wo n't go yet : for I think he means to settle everything for you ; he said as much , sir . '' Philip glanced over the card , and read , `` Mr. George Blackwell , Lincoln 's Inn . '' His brow grew dark -- he let the card fall on the ground , put his foot on it with a quiet scorn , and muttered to himself , `` The lawyer shall not bribe me out of my curse ! ''
