It would be time enough to invite Link's assistance, he thought, when Mrs. Bensusan as yet an unknown quantity in the case proved obstinate in replying to his questions. Mrs. Bensusan proved to be quite as stout as Miss Greeb had reported.
The father and son, therefore, hastily thanked the officer and his party, as well as the other gentlemen who had volunteered in their assistance, lifted little Sir Geoffrey Hudson from the conspicuous post which he had so creditably occupied during the skirmish, and followed the footsteps of the tenant of the booth, who conducted them down a blind alley and through one or two courts, in case, as he said, any one might have watched where they burrowed, and so into a back-door.

Many visits were made during the next few days to furniture, carpet, and china stores. One would have supposed, at the least, that Mrs.
The tenant came to his work with capital and ripe experience, farmed well, and, I am assured on the best authority, fared well, getting a handsome return for his capital.
