'Lately arrived' this is what I suddenly stumbled on 'at Dumbreck's Hotel, the Viscount of Saint-Yves. 'Rowley, said I. 'If you please, Mr. Anne, sir, answered the obsequious, lowering his pipe. 'Come and look at this, my boy, said I, holding out the paper. 'My crikey! said he. 'That's 'im, sir, sure enough! 'Sure enough, Rowley, said I. 'He's on the trail. He has fairly caught up with us.
My dear sir, a hair of the dog that bit you is clearly indicated. A touch of Blue Ruin, now? Or, come: it's early, but is man the slave of hours? what do you say to a chop and a bottle in Dumbreck's Hotel?"
