Wood, was
examined. They walked two by two to the car, looking the part of
267
two weary spouses supporting their drunken mates after
an all-night bender. A narrow entry, formed by two low walls, communicated with the main
thoroughfare; and in this passage, under the cover of a penthouse, stood Wood,
with his little burthen, to whom we shall now return. Here he halted;
and, looking upwards, read, at the foot of an immense sign-board, displaying a
gaudily-painted angel with expanded pinions and an olive-branch, not the name
he expected to find, but that of WILLIAM KNEEBONE, WOOLLENDRAPER. He then unlocked a cabinet, opened a secret drawer,
and, lifter ransacking its contents, discovered a paper he was in search of, and a
glove. He then said that if
she would not obey him in this course she should “never darken his doors
again,” and was, indeed, frightfully abusive. Supposing that was it; at least, a solution to part of this
amazing riddle? Supposing her father had made her assist him in the care of the
derelicts solely to fill her with loathing and abhorrence for mankind?
"Didn't you despise the men your father brought home—the beachcombers?"
"No. “I hope,” said Miss Stanley, with dignity, and turned doorward with features in
civil warfare. What matters it? My servant, he is wounded—and by a
Frenchman, if you wish to make an arrest. Sheppard, who witnessed this occurrence with dismay, looked timorously
at Wood, in expectation of some hint being given as to the course she had better
pursue; but, receiving none, for the carpenter was too much agitated to attend to
her, she ventured to express a fear that she was intruding.
