Clerk Janaway was outraged, and bustled up the steps after him like an angry turkey-cock. "Come, come!" he said, touching the intruder on the shoulder; "you cannot sit here; these are the Fording seats, and kep' for Lord Blandamer's family."

"Well," he said, "there weren't no int'rupted peal this time, were there?
No need to examine Billy his record for good or ill was manifestly closed: and Lawrence had a sickening suspicion that Mrs. Janaway too had finished with a world which perhaps had not offered her much inducement to remain in it.

Ye cannot come in." The stranger was amused at the old man's officiousness.
