He explained that a woman relative living at the Langham Hotel had been taken suddenly ill, and had sent for him and his niece.

She couldn't go to her father for reconciliation, and the matter might have ended quite differently, but suddenly, without another word, Jim put on his hat and went out to join "his chaps" who were waiting for him about the public-house, close to the cab-rank in the Vauxhall Bridge Road.
