'Yes. But you have thoughts above money. 'Have I? How kind of you to say so. I've had enough of this wind; we'll go down. She led the way, and neither of them spoke till they were in the street again. Nancy felt her hair. 'Am I blown to pieces? she asked. 'No, no; you're all right. Now, will you walk through the City? 'Where's the place you spoke of? 'Farringdon Street.
As he came closer, Harber observed the tawny beard, the sea-blue eyes surrounded by the fine wrinkles of humour, the neat black clothing, the polished boots, and, above all, the gold earrings that marked the man in his mind as Farringdon, the sea-captain who had been anxious to meet him.
With which consoling remark he took leave of his liege-lady. The friendship between Alan Tremaine and Elisabeth Farringdon grew apace during the next twelve months. His mind was of the metaphysical and speculative order, which is interesting to all women; and hers was of the volatile and vivacious type which is attractive to some men.
"She is an attractive woman," he said to himself, "though she is not as good-looking as I expected. But there's charm about her, and breeding; and they say she has an enormous fortune. She is certainly worth cultivating." Farquhar cultivated the distinguished Miss Farringdon assiduously, and the friendship between them grew apace.

The well-to-do ones are like sisters and brothers, and the poor ones don't seem to be no connection at all."
Sherlock Holmes was not very communicative during the long drive, and lay back in the cab humming the tunes which he had heard in the afternoon. We rattled through an endless labyrinth of gaslit streets until we emerged into Farringdon Street. "We are close there now," my friend remarked. "This fellow Merryweather is a bank director and personally interested in the matter.
Andrew's, Holborn, were buried Chatterton, that poor young pauper! with them. And it is now a market, Farringdon Market close to Farringdon Street opposite the site of the Old Fleet Prison whence came so many of the bodies which now lie beneath these flags. Or, a pilgrim may consider the City with special reference to the great Houses which formerly stood within its walls.
He jogged on comfortably enough in his own way; living in his chambers, and consorting with a few chosen friends and kindred spirits of the jolly-good-fellow class, whom he met at an old-established tavern in the west-central district, and in whose society, and the society of the subscription-ground in the Farringdon Road, he found the summum bonum in the way of social intercourse.
