"Oh, bother, not to say dash I had forgotten we were dining out; but do, do, come round again and have a talk."
I'll not breathe a word of what you've said to me,—not even to old George. He's getting so nervous nowadays that he comes home to lunch and telephones three or four times a day. It's an awful strain on him. He doesn't eat a thing, poor dear. I'm really quite worried about him. Take a little snooze here on the sofa, Anne. You must be worn out. I'll cover you up—" The door-bell rang.
"The children have had a beautiful month. Haven't their letters been What's that?"

Again came a violent ringing of the door-bell; steps in the hall; this time the two men listened. "I am pursued," muttered Ford; "they've cornered me; it is your turn now." "I will give you up if these are enemies," cried Mellen; "there is no escape." He took one stride towards the door, but Ford called out: "You are giving up your sister's husband; remember the whole world shall know it."

"The maid!" he cried. "She has returned, as I forewarned you, and there is now before you one more difficult passage.
Here the master and mistress came and went, regardless of each other, and of all household polity; but their meals were ready for them to the minute, when they chose to be there to eat them; the carriage came round like one of the puppets on the Strasburg clock; the house was quiet as a hospital; the bells were answered all except the door-bell outside of calling hours with swiftness; you could not soil your fingers anywhere not even if the sweep had been that same morning; the manners of the servants when serving were unexceptionable; but the house was scarcely more of a home than one of the huge hotels characteristic of the age.
"Under other circumstances the young man's rudeness, and his recklessness in dashing so hurriedly through the mist, would have struck me as peculiar, but everything was so distorted by the fog that at the moment I did not consider it. The door was still as he had left it, partly open. I went up the path, and, after much fumbling, found the knob of the door-bell and gave it a sharp pull.
At last they came into a little street near the Southwark Bridge. The boy stopped by the steps of a house. "Here 'tis, Bob. Good-night. It was good of you to take the trouble for me." "Good-night, Charley." The boy ran up the steps, and, as he noticed that Fagin still stopped, he pulled the door-bell. Then the man went on down the street. When the door opened the boy asked if Mr.
