"Come, I must search you my youngster!"
"You shan't touch me," rejoined Thames; and, suddenly bursting from Charcam,

‘What?’ uttered Gerald, startled. His pulses beat fast as he walked, his feet fell lightly upon
the pavement. If only you could
see the people who have been to call on me! Sir John has the most absurd ideas,

during dinner. The ripple of the water against the boat, as its keel cleaves
through the stream—the darkling current hurrying by—the indistinctly-seen
craft, of all forms and all sizes, hovering around, and making their way in ghostlike silence, or warning each other of their approach by cries, that, heard from
afar, have something doleful in their note—the solemn shadows cast by the
bridges—the deeper gloom of the echoing arches—the lights glimmering from
the banks—the red reflection thrown upon the waves by a fire kindled on some
stationary barge—the tall and fantastic shapes of the houses, as discerned
through the obscurity;—these, and other sights and sounds of the same character,
give a sombre colour to the thoughts of one who may choose to indulge in
meditation at such a time and in such a place. . Not the most stringent search, conducted all
morning, turned up one solitary sheet.
