"_The Will of the late Mr. Dash is so complicated that it is not
unlikely to give employment to Gentlemen of the long robe;_" _i.e._,
Administration suit, with six sets of solicitors, ten years of chamber
practice, three further considerations, and the complete exhaustion of
the estate in costs.
"_Mr. Nemo, as a Solicitor in his office, is a very able man;_" _i.e._,
That although Mr. NEMO, away from his profession, would shrink from
doing anything calculated to get himself turned out of the West-End
Club to which he belongs; in his _sanctum_ he would cheerfully sell
the bones of his grandmother by auction, and prosecute his own father
and mother for petty larceny, arson, or murder, always supposing he
saw his way to his costs.
