He's at Dr. Bream's private hospital in West Kensington. 'Ah, yes, said Sir Jasper. 'Dr. Bream is treating him. He's not a patient of mine. 'I thought I'd ask you what his chances are, observed Isidore Bamberger, fixing his sharp eyes on the famous doctor's face. 'He used to be my private secretary. He might just as well have examined the back of the doctor's head.

"Nevill's Court," said Mrs. Jablett, "is a alley, and you goes into it through a archway. It turns out on Fetter Lane on the right 'and as you goes up, oppersight Bream's Buildings." I thanked Mrs. Jablett and went on my way, glad that the morning round was nearly finished, and vaguely conscious of a growing appetite and of a desire to wash in hot water.

While she was speaking, Captain Bream's smile expanded and broke forth at last in one of his bass broadsides of laughter, which gave Ruth great delight for she had, as a little girl, enjoyed these thunderous laughs excessively, and her taste for them had not departed.

This girl's name was Liffie Lee. She was good as far as she went but she did not go far. Her goodness was not the result of principle. She had no principle; did not know what the word meant, but she had a nature, and that nature was soft, unselfish, self-oblivious, the last a blessing of incalculable price! It was Liffie Lee who responded to Captain Bream's knock.

Despite the comical element in this incident, a tear was forced out of Captain Bream's eye, and we rather think that the missionary was similarly affected. But, to say truth, the public at large cared little for such matters. Each was too much taken up with the pressing urgency of his or her own sorrows to give much heed to the woes of strangers.

Then he got a surprise when Captain Bream's voice resounded through the hold, there was something so very deep and metallic about it, yet so tender and musical. But the greatest surprise of all came when the captain, without a word of preface or statement as to where his text was to be found, looked his expectant audience earnestly in the face, and said slowly, "Thou shalt not steal."

Hope was a powerful element in Captain Bream's nature. He rose quickly and stopped to gaze attentively into a female face, but it was so dark where she sat on a low box that he could hardly see her, and took a step forward. "Well, Mr Imprence, I hope as you'll know me again," said the woman, whose face was fiery red, and whose nature was furious. "What do you want here?"

It is not my place to criticise the little group of people whose simple annals I am relating my position is merely that of a reporter : but personally I think highly of Bream's sturdy common-sense. If somebody loosed off an elephant gun at me in a dark corridor, I would climb on to the roof and pull it up after me.

'He's looking after the ferrets, of course, said Justin. 'We were only at Bream's farm, and Bob heard Nance's whistle. We did have a jolly good rat-hunt, and he was beginning a description, when the others stopped him. 'Archie and I don't want to hear about it, said Pat, 'and I'm sure Miss Mouse doesn't.

It had been sent from No. 18-A Bream's Buildings, E.C., but, from Roland's point of view, it might have come direct from heaven; for its contents, signed by Harrison, Harrison, Harrison & Harrison, Solicitors, were to the effect that a client of theirs had instructed them to approach him with a view to purchasing the paper.
