"Oh, it's easy," he cried, "so easy that I never thought of it. They've just bought the Vaudeville out of hand and served notice on me that when my lease expires next month they'll not be able to renew it, 'unfortunately'! That's all.
"I know no such man, sir; never heard his name before," replied Jacob, angrily, and now urging his fair protegées onwards the whole party having been stopped by the incident just detailed. "Not so fast, friend," exclaimed Howison, making after his prey, and again slapping him on the shoulder, but now less ceremoniously.
