James Anderton would do was the question of the moment. Would there be a fresh governess or would they all be left in peace without one? Mrs. James Anderton, Miss Roberta had said once, was a person who "did her duty," as people often did "in her class" "a most worthy woman, if not quite a lady" and she had striven to do her best by James Anderton's children even his stepchild Halcyone.
"Right, m'sieu. I understand. You an' your mees you giv' zee p'licemans one beeg surprise! Eees not dat so?" "That is it," laughed Stane. And Anderton's surprise was complete.

"Then, by all accounts, you have met a regular rogue, Anderton!
Ready to imagine himself one. Lamb was fond of this conceit. Anderton's. Either the coffee-shop in Fleet Street, now Anderton's Hotel, or a city offshoot of it.
