The light was dim in the passage, but it was sufficiently light to enable him to see John's face, and it did not reassure him. "I'll soon tell you," said John.

What could a landlord do but smile?

Otherwise the Government is prepared to advance the necessary purchase money, to be repaid at the rate of four per cent. per annum, which covers both principal and interest.
