Review the paragraph that begins at the bottom
V125BC [204]

The sentence that suggests the narrator does not closely monitor Bar.tleby's performance after hiring him is given below.

<h3>What is the evidence that the lawyer didn't do thorough background checks on Bar.tleby?</h3>

The textual evidence is as follows;

"The Lawyer asks him: "What earthly right have you to stay here? Do you pay any rent? Do you pay any taxes? Or is this property yours?"

Bar.tleby makes no response, and the Lawyer becomes resigned to the idea that Bar.tleby will simply haunt his office, doing nothing.

The Lawyer believes he is doing a good, Christian thing by allowing Bar.tleby to continue existing in his office."

<h3>Who is Bar.tleby?</h3>

From the text "Bar.tleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street", Bar.tleby is an old scrivener at The Lawyer's office, Turkey. He is cheerful and productive until midday, when he gets dru.nk, grumpy, and basically worth.less.

We never discover his full name since The Lawyer only refers to him by his nickname. A twelve-year-old assistant in the legal office.
