Richardo Powell Armiger\u003cbr\u003eThesaurar.\" The words, set in four panels, which formed a frieze beneath\u003cbr\u003ethe pediment of a fine brick portico, summarised the history of one of\u003cbr\u003ethe tall houses at the upper end of King's Bench Walk and as I, somewhat\u003cbr\u003eabsently, read over the inscription, my attention was divided between\u003cbr\u003eadmiration of the exquisitely finished carved brickwork and the quiet\u003cbr\u003edignity of the building, and an effort to reconstitute the dead and gone\u003cbr\u003eRichard Powell, and the stirring times in which he played his part.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI was about to turn away when the empty frame of the portico became\u003cbr\u003eoccupied by a figure, and one so appropriate, in its wig and obsolete\u003cbr\u003ehabiliments, to the old-world surroundings that it seemed to complete\u003cbr\u003ethe picture, and I lingered idly to look at it. The barrister had halted\u003cbr\u003ein the doorway to turn over a sheaf of papers that he held in his hand,\u003cbr\u003eand, as he replaced the red tape which bound them together, he looked up\u003cbr\u003eand our eyes met. For a moment we regarded one another with the\u003cbr\u003eincurious gaze that casual strangers bestow on one another; then there\u003cbr\u003ewas a flash of mutual recognition; the impassive and rather severe face\u003cbr\u003eof the lawyer softened into a genial smile, and the figure, detaching\u003cbr\u003eitself from its frame, came down the steps with a hand extended in\u003cbr\u003ecordial greeting.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47170880471280,"sku":"2940013063358","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013063358_p0.jpg?v=1763576440","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013063358","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
