Why was he there? why did
the tempter dare to invade that sacred spot! She could not answer her own
questions, but vague fearful suspicions passed through her mind. No doubt she was wondering what he had done
in Charvill’s house and what he intended now. “Does he never speak to you of—of old times?” she faltered. ’
‘In a way she had been,’ said Prudence. While this took place, while Quilt thundered at the inner door, and Jack drew
back the bolts of the outer, a deep, manly voice was heard chanting—as if in
contempt of the general uproar—the following strain:—
With pipe and punch upon the board,
And smiling nymphs around us;
No tavern could more mirth afford
Than old Saint Giles's round-house!
The round-house! the round-house!
The jolly—jolly round-house!
"The jolly, jolly round-house!" chorussed Sheppard, as the last bar yielded to his
efforts. . In the subdued light she could not tell
whether he was asleep or awake. She felt terrible lying to him. And she was about as capable of intelligent argument as a runaway
steam-roller. Cosette sat under the table, still as a
mouse, fondling her pitiful doll. "
"Figg's an old friend of mine," rejoined Jack; "he was my instructor in the small
sword and back sword exercise. ”
Then she fell to thinking about her aunt.
