"Yes, please, a hansom," said Lady Enid Thistle, some five minutes later, as she and the Prophet stood together upon the kerb in front of the rabbit shop. "I feel much better now." The Prophet hailed a hansom and handed her into it. "Which way are you going?" he asked. Lady Enid looked doubtful. "I ought to be going back to Jellybrand's," she said. "I had an appointment. But really you see Mr.
Indeed the situation of the library seemed about to be accurately reversed in the parlour of Jellybrand's. The young librarian assisted the cork to emerge phlegmatically from the neck of the second bottle of champagne, mechanically smacking his lips the while. "Now pour, and leave us, Frederick Smith."
"They do not know who we are, sir," continued Malkiel, furtively. "To them and to the whole world excepting Jellybrand's and you we are the Sagittariuses of Sagittarius Lodge, people at ease, sir, living upon our competence beside the Mouse. They do not see the telescope, sir, in the locked studio at the top of the lodge.
"The poor man naturally wants the extra sixpence. I think I shall give him a shilling. But now who is Mr. Sagittarius?" "Who is he?" "Yes. I've seen him several times at Jellybrand's, and when I first met him I though he was an outside broker." "You! Was it on the pier at Margate?" "Certainly not! Really, Mr. Vivian! even in my double life I occasionally draw the line." "I beg your pardon.

"I'm so sorry I can't tell you," he replied with gentle firmness. "Oh, all right," she rejoined. "But now I'm at a disadvantage. You know I'm Miss Minerva." "Yes. But I don't know why you are, or why you go to Jellybrand's, or why you rushed into the parlour, or who the old gentleman was that " The cab stopped before Mrs. Merillia's house.
"But I assure you " "Mr. Vivian, it's useless really. I find you hidden away in the inner room of Jellybrand's with Mr. Sagittarius, closely guarded by Frederick Smith; fourpenny champagne " "Four bob shilling, I mean." "Oh, was it? Upon the table. After I've been poisoned, and we are leaving, Mr.
Jellybrand's tempting gleaming black trousers, he stopped, crouched like a tiger, and with teeth still bared continued his kettle-like reverberations. Aunt Amy, who hated dogs, loved Mr. Jellybrand, and was not in the least sentimental when her personal safety was in danger, cried in a shrill voice: "But take it away. Take it away. Alice, tell him. It's going to bite Mr. Jellybrand."
Have you a young female concealed within these loathsome precincts?"

But it happened that there existed upon the earth one object, and one object only, towards which he felt a sense of chivalry. This object was Jellybrand's Library.
