The rooms were low and dark; the windows, made obscure by means of heavy woodwork and common glass, let in what light they did admit with a grudging air, and seemed to frown upon the inmates of the chamber they were supposed to beautify.
Also there was a grudging note of admiration in his voice when he next spoke. "Ain't takin' no chances, be you?" he said dryly. "No. Don't you think we've taken enough already?" Mr. Clifford did not answer. He replaced the blank check in his pocketbook and, from another compartment, extracted some bills rolled in a tight little cylinder and wound about with elastic.
