"I have never even breathed to her of our meeting. Would we had some water! Ah! here it comes. "I arrest you in the Queen's name," said a serjeant of police. "Resistance is vain." Maclast blew out the light, and then ran up into the loft, followed by the thickset man, who fell down the stairs: Wilkins got up the chimney.
At this moment two policemen who had been searching the loft descended with Maclast who had vainly attempted to effect his escape over a neighbouring roof; the thickset man was already secured; and Wilkins had been pulled down the chimney and made his appearance in as grimy a state as such a shelter would naturally have occasioned.
"But we must circulate this pamphlet of the Polish Count on the manner of encountering cavalry with pikes," said Maclast. "'Tis printed," said the stout thickset man; "we have set it up on a broadside. We have sent ten thousand to the north and five thousand to John Frost. We shall have another delivery tomorrow. It takes very generally."
"Water," said the young man, and he hurried away to obtain some. "I feel queer," said his thickset colleague to Maclast. "I will answer for Langley as for myself." said Maclast; "and there is not another human being aware of our purpose." "Except Morley." "Yes: except Morley. But I should as soon doubt Gerard as Stephen Morley." "Certainly." "I cannot conceive how she traced me," said Gerard.

Nothing can be decided on this head till we see Langley, who will make a communication from Birmingham that cannot be trusted to writing. The seven o'clock train must have long since arrived. He is now a good hour behind his time." "I hear foot-steps," said Maclast. "He comes," said Gerard. The door of the chamber opened and a woman entered.
Gently he placed her in his chair; she was sensible, for she grasped his arm, and she murmured still she murmured "fly!" "'Tis very strange," said Maclast. "I feel queer!" said the thickset man. "Methinks she looks like a heavenly messenger," said Wilkins. "I had no idea that earth had anything so fair," said the youthful scribe of proclamations.
