Redmond Phillips: Lawyer Dowling

Quotes 

• Lawyer Dowling : [At the cemetery: immediately after the burial of Bridget Blifil]  Sir, sometime before your mother died, she gave me a letter. Her instructions were to hand it over to Mr. Allworthy as she was buried.

  Blifil : Hand it to me. I will give it to my uncle.

  Lawyer Dowling : She expressly said into no hands but Mr. Allworthy's.

  Blifil : Lawyer Dowling, if my uncle lives, he will need a new steward. I intend to recommend you.

  Lawyer Dowling : You are most kind, sir.

  [Hands the letter over to Blifil]
