Yours, N. GRABMAN. Lucretia read steadily, and with no change of countenance, to the last line of the letter. Then, as she put it down on the table before her, she repeated, with a tone of deep exultation: "No doubt of ultimate success!" "You do not fear to brave all which the spite of this woman, Jane Prior, may prompt her to say against you?" asked Varney. Lucretia's brow fell.
On the rising geniuses around him Bill the cracksman looked, and his father's heart was proud. Pausing at the threshold, Grabman looked in and said cheerfully, "Good-day to you; good- day to you all, my little dears." "Ah, Grabman," said Bill, rising, and making a bow, for Bill valued himself much on his politeness, "come to blow a cloud, eh?
Always so merry; for the life of me, I couldn't help looking in! Dear me, Bill, why, you're in luck!" and Mr. Grabman pointed to a pile of sovereigns which Bill had emptied from the purse to count over and weigh on the tip of his forefinger. "Yes," said Bill, sweeping the gold into his corduroy pocket; "and who do you think brought me these shiners?
Grabman took courage, and shuffling off his shoes, ascended the stairs; he passed the closed door of the room above; he seized the ladder with a shaking hand; he mounted, step after step; he stood in Beck's room.
Seated over their port wine, the two gentlemen compared their experiences, and consulted on the best mode of remending the broken thread of their research; when Mr. Grabman said coolly, "But, after all, I think it most likely that we are not on the right scent. This bantling may not be the one we search for." "Be not misled by that doubt.
"Bob has a soul above trouble; his father's heart beats in his buzzom. Bob, track the dancers. Up like a lark, and down like a dump." Bob grinned, made a mow at Mr. Grabman, and scampered up the stairs. "You never attends our free-and-easy," said Bill; "but we toasts you with three times three, and up standing. 'T is a hungrateful world!
We have no need to track the dull crimes of Martha, or the quick, cunning vices of Grabman, to their inevitable goals, in the hospital or the prison, the dunghill or the gibbet. Of the elder Ardworth our parting notice may be less brief. We first saw him in sanguine and generous youth, with higher principles and clearer insight into honour than William Mainwaring.

And thou art going now, Nicholas Grabman, upon an enterprise which promises thee large gains, and thy purse is filled; and thou wantest nothing for thy wants or thy swinish luxuries. Why should those shaking fingers itch for the poor beggar-man's hoards?
And even while we write, and even while ye read, many a Grabman steals from helpless toil the savings of a life. Ye poor hoards, darling delights of your otherwise joyless owner, how easily has his very fondness made ye the prey of the spoiler!
