Great was his surprise, and even horror, to observe Glossin's body lying doubled across the iron bar, in a posture that excluded all idea of his being alive. Hatteraick was quietly stretched upon his pallet within a yard of his victim. On lifting Glossin it was found he had been dead for some hours. His body bore uncommon marks of violence.
I am a soldier, sir, somewhat impatient of forms and introductions. So saying, he drew himself up in his chair and waited for Mr. Glossin's communication. 'Be pleased to look at that letter, said Glossin, putting Protocol's epistle into Mannering's hand, as the shortest way of stating his business.
While these racking thoughts glided rapidly through Glossin's mind, he observed one of the lights obscured, as by an opaque body placed at the window. What a moment of interest! 'He has got clear of his irons! he is working at the stancheons of the window! they are surely quite decayed, they must give way.

I congratulate you on their being regularly retired, as I perceive they have been. I think the chances were against it. Glossin's countenance fell. 'This piece of real evidence, continued Mr.
