The Captain seemed, for the moment, to object to this proceeding; and leaning back in his chair, looked at Mr Toots with a distrustful, if not threatening visage. 'Where she brought out, said Mr Toots, 'this newspaper.
"And some gold," Pamela assented, passing a pound note over to the woman. "Do you want to see him alone?" the latter asked, almost snatching at the note, but still regarding Pamela with distrustful curiosity. "Of course," was the calm reply. The woman opened her lips and closed them again, sniffed, and led the way down a short passage, at the end of which was a door.
