Like some little schoolboy, he ran away! In other words, he disappeared, and left no trace behind him. Deep was Mr Enoch Blurt's regret, for he loved the youth sincerely, and made many fruitless efforts to find him for lost in London means lost indeed!
"I regret much to hear this," returned the gentleman, whom as Mr Blurt never ascertained who he was we shall style the Secretary, at all events he represented that officer. "You may rely on our doing our utmost to clear up the matter. Will you be kind enough to give me the full particulars?" The Secretary's urbanity gave the whole of Mr Blurt's last rags of indignation to the winds.
"There," he said, putting the money into the child's hand, "and tell Miss Lillycrop, with my compliments Mr Enoch Blurt's compliments that my brother has been very ill, but is a little a very little better; and see, there is a sixpence for yourself."
The lady raised her veil, and displayed the amazed face of Miss Lillycrop. "I came to inquire for my old friend I'm so grieved; I was not aware Mr Aspel " "Give me my bird, I say!" demanded the virago. "Step this way, madam," said Aspel, driven almost to distraction as he opened the door of the back shop. "Mrs Murridge, show this lady up to Mr Blurt's room.
He descended from the stool, as the doctor entered the shop looking very grave. Every expression, save that of deep anxiety, vanished from Mr Blurt's face. "My brother is worse?" he said quickly. "Not worse," replied the doctor, "but his case is critical. Everything will depend on his mind being kept at ease.
"Well, come, we will continue our round," said Mr Bright, laughing. Now, while all this was going on in the hall, there was a restive creature inside of a box which did not relish its confinement. This was Mr Fred Blurt's snake. That sagacious animal discovered that there was a knot in the side of his pine-wood box. Now, knots are sometimes loose.
May will be glad to meet him; and he saved Mr Blurt's life, so you see " "Saved Mr Blurt's life!" interrupted Miss Lillycrop.
I saw him once, I believe, at old Blurt's bird-shop, but did not recognise 'im at the time, owin' to his hat bein' pulled well over his eyes, though I rather think he must have recognised me. The second time I saw him was when Tottie came to me for help and set me on his tracks, when he was goin' to commit the burglary on Rosebud Cottage.
