THE CONCERT
Martin Chen showed up early for the pre-concert
warm-up at 5:00. Uttering a few inarticulate ejaculations,—for he was completely out of breath,—
the fugitive placed a bundle in the arms of the carpenter, and, regardless of the
consternation he excited in the breast of that personage, who was almost
stupified with astonishment, he began to divest himself of a heavy horseman's
cloak, which he threw over Wood's shoulder, and, drawing his sword, seemed to
