He looked in the upper ones and found them deserted. The squads were on duty somewhere.
Bassett, standing by a window, was aware of a lighter step than was usual in this plotting chamber. He advanced toward the table with his hands in his pockets, waited till Sylvia was disclosed by the lamp, stopped abruptly, stared at her with eyes that seemed not to see her.

Mrs. Carew came out of her own gate as they came up, and there was time for a little talk, and promises, and goodbyes.

"This afternoon," he said, clearing his throat, "I employed my spare moments in composing an ode to the memory of our sainted relative, under whose hospitable roof we are all now so pleasantly gathered. I will read it to you." Mrs. Dodd hastily left the table, muttering indistinctly, and Dick followed her.
As soon as he could be moved with safety, Jonathan had himself transported to Newgate, where he was carried into the Middle Ward, that he might feast his eyes upon his victim.
