Before the child could reply to this earnest solicitation, the street-door opened, and Mr Brass thrusting out his night-capped head called in a surly voice, 'Who's there!

Here was every sort of trouble gathering upon me, here was Jeremy Stickles stealing upon every one in the dark; here was Uncle Reuben plotting Satan only could tell what; here was a white night-capped man coming bodily from the grave; here was my own sister Annie committed to a highwayman, and mother in distraction; most of all here, there, and where was my Lorna stolen, dungeoned, perhaps outraged.

At length old Gaspar thrust his night-capped head from an upper window. "What means this cursed din?" he angrily exclaimed. "Come down come down!" the coachman replied, in a gruff voice. "Here is Prince Reklovstt waiting at your door." "Good Heaven!" exclaimed the landlord, withdrawing his head in a fluster. "It can be no common prince, this, with such a jaw-breaking name.

"Who is there?" asked a night-capped personage from an upper window. "A friend," answered Jake. "What do you want?" said the night-capped head, rather gruffly. "I want to see the Leftenant."
When he had pointed out the bed of Americans that were to be her boundary, he excused himself as having letters to finish; and as he went away Cecil gave vent to her distaste to the old shrubs and borders, now, of course, at their worst the azaleas mere dead branches, the roses with a few yellow night-capped buds still lingering, and fuchsias with a scanty bell or two.
