At length it ceased, and the cautious and partial gleam of a lanthorn fell along the floor; another moment, and two men stood in the room. "Hush, Jack!" whispered one: "hang out the glim, and let's look about us." The dark-lanthorn, now fairly unmuffled, presented to the gaze of the robbers nothing that could gratify their cupidity. They muttered a mutual curse.

They have some useful pimp, some favourite toad-eater, that is always at their elbow. Ever remember, so long as you live, that toad-eaters are treacherous friends. Beside, it would be a little suspicious, to see your lordship's carriage making a regular tour from door to door among the lords of the bed-chamber. And I would by no means have Pinchbeck's dark-lanthorn brought into common use.
