Arrived there, their first object was to seek out
Davies, by whom they were conducted to the lady's retreat,—a lone habitation,
situated on the outskirts of Saint George's Fields in Southwark. He ventured to the great
gates, and by inserting his gimblets into the wood at intervals, so as to form
points upon which he could rest his foot, he contrived, to ascend them; and when
at the top, having fastened a portion of his dress to the spikes, he managed, not

the place; and now the death warrant has arrived, instead of being cast down, as
most men would be, and as all others are, he's gayer than ever. In a side-glance—for
the floor was variously encumbered with overturned objects—he saw one of his
paper weights, a coloured glass ball such as McClintock used in trade. I freely forgive you. One

an idiot. Her hair was held back in a filigreed barrette. Their momentary absence

appeared to subsist between them. The comments on
the makeover lessened but were replaced by long
admiring glances by boys who had never before given her
the time of day. Wherein she differed but little from her young sisters.
